Though it’s still early in the 2023 NFL draft cycle, it’s becoming more and more clear that [autotag]Anton Harrison[/autotag] will have a great chance at being drafted in the first round.
Mock drafts from several outlets have put him in the back half of the first round, most notably to AFC champion Kansas City. But the most recent mock draft from College Sports Wire’s Patrick Conn gave the Sooners’ left tackle a bit of a bump. Conn has Harrison going at No. 22 to the Los Angeles Chargers, meaning Harrison would join former first-round pick Rashawn Slater.
The Chargers need to protect Justin Herbert, and Harrison could be ripe for the taking in the middle part of Round 1. He would improve an offensive line that gave up 39 sacks last season. Seems like a no-brainer decision here. – Conn, College Sports Wire

Harrison has the requisite athleticism and experience to be a fantastic addition for the Chargers’ offense. They have a talented group of skill players: Herbert, Keenan Allen, Austin Ekeler and Mike Williams. All they need to do is keep their quarterback upright and points will come.
If Anton Harrison hears his name called in the first round of April’s NFL draft, it will be the first time since 2020, when CeeDee Lamb and Kenneth Muray were selected, that a Sooner was chosen in the first.
