Breaking down Chargers’ picks in The Athletic’s latest 7-round mock draft

The Los Angeles Chargers address both sides of the ball in Dane Brugler’s seven-round mock draft.

Round 3 | S Ashtyn Davis, California

This was a bit of a head-scratching selection. Davis primarily played the free safety position with a little bit coming in the slot in Cal’s defense. With Rayshawn Jenkins and Nasir Adderley manning the single-high role and Chris Harris Jr. starting inside, it would be difficult to find a role for Davis.

Given his background as a slot corner, there’s a possibility that he can play the outside corner role since he possesses track-like speed, ball skills and eye discipline. But ultimately, I think the Chargers elect to go with someone who already has a natural feel for the position.
