17. Los Angeles Chargers

13. . QB. Missouri. Drew Lock . 17. player

Philip Rivers is still really good and seems to have gas left in the tank. However, there comes a time when a team just can’t pass up the chance to secure a top quarterback. Think what the Green Bay Packers did with Aaron Rodgers. That is what it could be with the Los Angeles Chargers grabbing Drew Lock here. The Missouri quarterback is a physical specimen with a big body and rocket arm to attack all levels of the field. He can put the ball anywhere with accuracy but as yet he’s still learning how to read defenses and operate with crisp mechanics. Being behind Rivers will afford him the time to fix both issues.
