Chargers land best player in draft in Peter Schrager’s new projection

It might be a longshot for the Chargers to land Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. in the draft next week. But all it takes is for the Cardinals, who have the No. 4 pick, to move back for it to happen.

That’s the scenario in NFL Media’s Peter Schrager’s latest mock draft as he sees Arizona moving back two spots with the Giants, who select Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy. That leaves Harrison for the taking.

Some teams like Malik Nabers more than Harrison. Others may like Rome Odunze. But I think Harrison’s ultimately the first receiver taken, and he would be a perfect match with both Justin Herbert and Jim Harbaugh.

With Keenan Allen and Mike Williams gone, the Bolts must add to the wide receiver room in the worst way.

Harrison is a bonafide star skill player with athleticism, speed, route-running savvy and elite ball skills. He would quickly develop close chemistry with Justin Herbert and be difference-maker for years to come.

Over the course of three years at Ohio State, Harrison caught 115 passes for 2,613 yards and 31 touchdowns.
