LA Chargers mock draft if the Bolts trade down with Arizona Cardinals to 16
By Jason Reed
With the 185th overall pick, the LA Chargers select Garret Wallow, LB, TCU
Garret Wallow is a very similar prospect to Kyzir White. A converted safety, Wallow has WILL linebacker written all over him. There are definitely some areas to work in his game and with his coverage, but he could essentially be the long-term replacement for Kyzir White or someone who could come in and provide a very similar outlook if White gets hurt.
The one thing about Wallow, though, is that he is a big-hitter. Wallow hits like a truck and that is important on the special teams side of the ball. At this point in the draft, depth is good but you want that depth to be able to contribute on special teams.
Wallow has the traits to at least be on the kickoff team and deliver some big hits in the process.
With the 241st overall pick, the LA Chargers select Gerrid Doaks, RB, Cincinnati
If you have read my work before then you know I am high on Gerrid Doaks as a seventh-round/undrafted free agent target. Doaks is not going to reinvent the wheel but he brings a great dynamic to the running back room.
Doaks is a big running back with great athleticism. He is not the most agile, but once he gets going up to speed he is really hard to tackle. Not only that, but he showcased the ability to be an above-average pass-blocker in the backfield.
Cincinnati really utilized Doaks on check and releases and that would be a dangerous dynamic to add to the offense in two running back formations with Austin Ekeler also as a pass-catcher.
