NFL Mock Draft 2018: Complete first round after Week 8
Minkah Fitzpatrick. 7. player. 13. . Defensive Back. Alabama
The AFC West has been one of the toughest divisions to play in the NFL over the past few year. The team that has gotten the worst end of that is the Los Angeles (formerly San Diego) Chargers. They do have a few needs to be filled but the defense needs some work as a whole.
Casey Hayward and Trevor Williams man the starting cornerbacks spots right now for the Chargers after the season-ending injury to Jason Verrett. Adding some more talent to the secondary would be a great move for the Chargers.
Surprisingly enough, after starting the season on a four-game losing streak, LA has won its last three contests. That includes a Week 7 shutout of the Denver Broncos. So, the defense is actually playing pretty well at this point in the season.
Alabama defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick is one of the absolute best leaders and most talented players in the nation. He’s also the leader of the most dominant defense in college football with the Crimson Tide.
