Chargers shopping 3rd pick

February 29, 2016

Chargers shopping 3rd pick … Given several developments at this week’s scouting combine in Indianapolis, San Diego has let it be known that the 3rd pick is available for the right package of picks in return. In particular, if as assumed Ole Miss OT Laremy Tunsil is in fact the first player selected by Tennessee, and that Cleveland takes either of QBs Carson Wentz of North Dakota State or Cal’s Jared Goff, then the real value of the 3rd pick currently held by the Chargers is the QB the Browns don’t select themselves. And given that there is a major drop-off to the next level of QBs, any team – and that likely means you San Francisco – that wants to jump ahead of Dallas which is lurking with the 4th pick is pretty much going to have to go through San Diego. And if the 49ers aren’t interested in moving up, there may very well be several teams picking later in the opening round including St. Louis, Philadelphia and especially Houston which very well might.
