2016 NFL Mock Draft: Week 12

1. player. 13. <p>This pick right here could take the San Diego Chargers from worst to first. They already have quarterback Philip Rivers, a modern-day Dan Fouts, leading an explosive offense. He’s second to only Tom Brady in the NFL in passing yards so far this year.</p> <p>And perhaps next year, he’ll have a healthy offensive line with Melvin Gordon running the ball. The Chargers also have one of the best secondaries in the NFL. They would be a playoff team it they could stop the run and rush the passer better.</p> <p>Adding a guy like Joey Bosa to their defensive front-7 would help in both departments. The 6’5″, 275-pounder can easily put on a few pounds and play 3-4 end. Many compare him to Houston Texans DE J.J. Watt as his skill-set has it’s similarities.</p> <p>We don’t know if he’ll be that good but their games are definitely comparable. Bosa can at least complete the Chargers defense, giving them an identity there. And with Rivers still there leading the offense, the Chargers can be off and running to the playoffs.</p>. DE. Ohio State. Joey Bosa
