Chargers trade back, find Day 1 starters in latest 3-round mock draft

The first wave of free agency is over, and based on their moves, it's becoming a little bit clearer what the  Chargers  could do in next month's draft. Los Angeles retained a few of its own players, including edge defender Khalil Mack and defensive tackle Teair Tart, and signed external free agents such as Tyler Biadasz as part of its interior offensive-line rebuild. Here’s an updated look at how the first three rounds could turn out based on what we know.

Round 1, No. 31 (Trade via Patriots), CB Chris Johnson, San Diego State Only slated to have five selections as of now, the Chargers move back nine spots with the Patriots and acquire the No. 31 overall pick and No.

95 overall pick (Round 3), along with two Day 3 picks. Los Angeles uses its first round pick to get defensive coordinator Chris O'Leary a top-end cornerback. Arguably one of the most polished corners in this class, Johnson is a scheme-versatile defender who can excel in both man and zone.

He allowed only a 16. 1 NFL passer rating when targeted in college. Johnson is also a refined run defender, finishing with a career missed-tackle rate of 5%.
