Harbaugh likes Chargers being in the fifth overall position going into the NFL draft
COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — In Jim Harbaugh’s estimation, no one has it better than the Los Angeles Chargers going into the NFL draft.
The Chargers have the fifth overall pick on April 25. With an expected run on quarterbacks at the top of the draft, the Bolts will field plenty of calls from teams looking to move up.
Or, they can remain in the spot and have their pick of the best non-QB prospects since they already have Justin Herbert.
“There’s going to be a great player at five. There’s talk of four quarterbacks going in the first four picks, and if that happens, then that pick becomes like the number one pick in the draft for teams that have a great quarterback already,” Harbaugh said during last month’s league meetings. “Maybe four quarterbacks don’t go in a row, and there’s another quarterback there when the fifth pick comes around. With the calculator, it wouldn’t be like the fifth pick anymore.”
