The Los Angeles Chargers may have won the Jim Harbaugh sweepstakes, but the new head coach inherits a team that missed the playoffs last year, going 5-12, and goes into 2024 $46 million over the cap. There is little chance the team can add any contributors in free agency, even if they creatively restructure Khalil Mack, Joey Bosa, Keenan Allen, and Mike Williams before the season. The team will likely lose two centers to free agency but still have Corey Linsley, who is under contract through 2025. They will also lose their top offensive weapon in the backfield, as Austin Ekeler is an unrestricted free agent. Lastly, they will lose their tight end Gerald Everett as well. These holes will have to be addressed in the 2024 NFL Draft. This mock draft was done without any trades, so the Chargers will draft where scheduled by Pro Football Focus (5, 37, 69, 105, 142, 183, 226). They are one of a few teams who have no extra picks.
