Big big names headed this way
With the NFL draft four weeks away, I’m taking my first attempt at an AFC West mock draft. Here goes:
5. Los Angeles Chargers:
Marvin Harrison, wide receiver, Ohio State
This is based off the belief a team like the Minnesota Vikings jumping up to the No. 4 slot in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals to take Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy. A Harrison-Justin Herbert pairing with Jim Harbaugh would be pretty special.
12. Denver Broncos:
Bo Nix, quarterback, Oregon
Every year, teams overdraft a quarterback based off of desperation and panic. The current guess here is that’s exactly what the Broncos do here.

13. Las Vegas Raiders:
Terrion Arnold, cornerback, Alabama
Arnold fits a need and he seems like a type of player Raider’s coach Antonio Pierce (who met with Arnold at the NFL Combine and at Alabama’s pro day) wants to build around. Seems like a safe bet.
32. Kansas City Chiefs
Adonai Mitchell, wide receiver, Texas
Patrick Mahomes gets another offensive piece. If he hits, it’ll be a problem for the division.
