3. San Diego Chargers: Laremy Tunsil, offensive tackle, Ole Miss
Finley says: My hometown Chargers practically invented the overcomplicated draft-day screw-up, but this one’s easy. Tunsil is a franchise-changing left tackle, and the Chargers desperately need help protecting franchise quarterback Philip Rivers. Rivers was sacked 40 times last season and 36 times in 2014; at 34, the gunslinging quarterback can’t afford to take too many hits. Drafting the 6-foot-5-inch, 315-pound Tunsil will crowd an already set, somewhat expensive offensive line, but the Chargers — who play in an AFC West featuring defensive stars DeMarcus Ware, Von Miller, Justin Houston and Khalil Mack — must do it anyway.
