Chargers' Mock Pick Ignores Their Own Needs List

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.
