1. Chargers best case scenario?
There’s a lot to be hashed out by the time the Chargers are on the clock at No. 22 with just over a week away from the draft.
As we saw just a year ago, when the Bolts also at No. 22, how the board shifts remains to be seen.
Not to mention the unpredictability of this year’s class, the draft analyst believes the Chargers sit in a very intriguing position.
“It’s an interesting spot to be in,” Jeremiah said.
Jeremiah mentioned that after the top of the draft, there’s a lot of unknown left to be decided.
One home run scenario for the Chargers, in his eyes, however?
Jeremiah laid out what that would look like, though he added he believes it is not likely.
“If there’s any miracle out there in the universe that Vega Ioane from Penn State is there, I don’t know if you can run that card up there fast enough,” Jeremiah said. “That would be an absolute home run pick.
“But I don’t anticipate that’s going to happen,” Jeremiah added.
Ioane, the consensus top interior offensive line prospect in the draft, was Jeremiah’s No. 11 overall player in his most recent rankings.
Though Jeremiah’s last mock draft a month ago had the Bolts taking Ioane at No. 22, at this point he considers him reaching that point unlikely.
Another scenario he believes the Chargers would welcome, however, involves some movement in the first round.
Chargers General Manager Joe Hortiz has not traded up or down in the first round during his first two drafts with the team, but comes from a Ravens front office that has a history of being active on Day 1 during his time there.
If an opportunity like that were to come up, Jeremiah sees the Bolts being for it as it fits the team.
“Moreso than anything else, if you have a video inside the draft room, there will be a lot of eyes staring at the phone begging it to ring because it marries up better for them to be able to trade back,” Jeremiah said.
