New CBS Mock Draft Has Chargers Landing Explosive Big Ten Offensive Weapon
The Los Angeles Chargers have the number five pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Their pick and what they decide to do with it will be crucial for the organization as they look to turn things around this upcoming season.
Although it's uncertain who they will select with the fifth pick, it's safe to say they will not choose a quarterback. However, according to CBS Sports Kyle Stackpole, the first four teams will select a quarterback—leaving the Chargers to pick Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.
Here's what Stackpole says about Harrison Jr. heading to Los Angeles.
Best-case scenario for the Chargers, who get Justin Herbert one of the best wide receiver prospects in recent years. Jim Harbaugh has seen up close just how good Marvin Harrison Jr. is, and now he'll get to coach the Ohio State standout instead of going against him.
According to CBS Sports, Harrison Jr. is the number one prospect and the number one player in his position. The potential addition of Harrison Jr. would rejuvenate the Charger offense alongside quarterback Justin Herbert.
The 21-year-old is possibly the most electric player in the draft and can change the course of an offense for years to come. That may be precisely what the Bolts need, especially with the uncertainty at the wide receiver position this offseason.
All signs point to the Buckeye being great at the next level. He is an elite athlete with supreme technique, route running and hand usage. Harrison Jr. can also play both outside and inside the numbers while having elite contested-catch skills.
There's a good chance all four teams ahead of the Chargers could take a quarterback. If it pans out that way, there's no doubt the Bolts will select the 2023 Biletnikoff Award Winner.
The amount of touchdowns from Herbert to Harrison Jr. will feed generations.
