In a two-round mock draft, Draft Wire’s Luke Easterling pegged Stanford redshirt junior T Walker Little to the Los Angeles Chargers with the No. 10 pick.
Little (6'7/313) is not the first tackle off the board for Easterling -- no surprise, that would be Oregon’s Penei Sewell, whom he has heading to the Bengals at No. 3 overall in this mock -- but it’s a bullish projection regardless. While there’s no denying that Little has NFL traits, his evaluation at this juncture isn’t exactly clean. Little sustained a season-ending knee injury in last fall’s opening contest against Northwestern, for one thing. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, players have been unable to take part in normal offseason strength-and-conditioning programs and we’re going to be very curious to see just where Little’s at physically once game-action begins. Beyond the health questions, Pro Football Network’s Neal Driscoll wrote in May that Little’s film shows a lineman who is at times “completely overwhelmed” when facing off with speed rushers. Driscoll, based on that tape study, does not currently view Little as a Day 1 prospect
