ESPN’s Mel Kiper posted his first mock draft of 2020, slotting three quarterbacks in the top 6. As everyone is doing, Kiper has the Cincinnati Bengals selecting QB Joe Burrow out of LSU with the number one overall pick and DE Chase Young going second. That means that for just about everyone the draft starts with the Detroit Lions at pick three, and without trades, means that the Los Angeles Chargers stick at six.
With Tua Tagovailoa off the board in Kiper’s mock, the Chargers make the move that many mock drafters have them doing at that point: Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert.
