Overall all of the draft analysts expect the Chargers to go defense with the 25th overall pick. The projection of Anthony Barr by Kiper and McShay is a really surprising one. Most experts expect Barr to go in the Top 10-15, but if Barr were to actually fall to the Chargers at No. 25 that would be an absolute steal for the Chargers and give them one of the most talented pass rushers in the draft. It goes without saying that cornerback is the Chargers top need and unless someone like Barr is available the Chargers will select a cornerback, but what if none of the top corners are available when the Chargers pick ? Then as pointed out by Craig Medeiros in his San Diego Chargers 7 Round Mock Draft, the Chargers will likely go with the best player available and that could be Virgina Left Tackle Morgan Moses who would be the Chargers future at Left Tackle.
