Who LACshould take — each prospect's model grade, weighted up where the roster is thin, so highly graded players at positions LAC needs rise to the top.

LAC's stated needs are specialist, offensive line, defensive front — yet the house mock has them spending pick 24 on CJ Carr, a quarterback. The board says otherwise. Kade Pieper and Austin Siereveld, the two linemen in range, both sit outside the room's top 45, with model-vs-room gaps of 37 and 29. If the model's right, the fit at 24 is the interior line, not under center. The problem with the mock isn't Carr's talent — it's that the pick doesn't match the roster the Chargers are actually building.
