Los Angeles Chargers pass on QB early in 7-round 2020 NFL mock draft

What if the Los Angeles Chargers decide to pass on taking a quarterback at No. 6? Let’s investigate that possibility in this seven-round mock draft for the team.

Ever since the Los Angeles Chargers locked in the sixth overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft and did not bring veteran quarterback Philip Rivers back, a majority of their draft discussion has been around the quarterback position.

It seems extremely likely that the Chargers will leave the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft on Thursday night with a new franchise quarterback on their roster. Whether they trade up or stand pat at No. 6, the smart money should be on the Chargers taking either Tua Tagovailoa or Justin Herbert on Thursday night. That being said, the draft is always an unpredictable event and we can never be 100% sure what will happen.

In this seven-round mock draft, we are going to see what it could look like if the Los Angeles Chargers do not take a quarterback early in the first round. What position do they address at No. 6 instead? Do they find another opportunity to find a potential long-term option at the quarterback position? How does the entire class look without that premier franchise quarterback at the top?

The Chargers have not had to worry about their quarterback situation in many years and an argument could be made that this is their most important draft since 2004, when they walked away with Rivers. What can the Los Angeles Chargers do to improve their roster in the 2020 NFL Draft? Follow along in this seven-round mock draft to find out.
