The mock drafts from all the major experts are being released today. We looked into Mike Mayock’s lone mock draft for the season and he had the Chargers selecting Todd Gurley with the 17th overall selection. This time around we will look at Mel Kiper’s selection for the team.
Kiper has the Chargers going with a running back as well, but instead will take Melvin Gordon to the Chargers. He has Todd Gurley selected before the Chargers make their pick.
17
Melvin Gordon
RB, Wisconsin
Why they take him: Because there’s just no peer for MG III on that roster, and he also qualifies as a best player available at this range on the board.
