Yahoo Sports Mock Draft Links Chargers to Oklahoma DT David Stone

An updated 2027 NFL mock draft projects the Los Angeles Chargers to select Oklahoma defensive tackle David Stone with the 17th overall pick.

The Los Angeles Chargers have been paired with Oklahoma defensive tackle David Stone in an updated 2027 NFL mock draft from Yahoo Sports. Analyst Curt Popejoy projects the Chargers to select Stone with the 17th overall pick.

The Chargers enter the projection off an 0-2 start to the season. The mock draft slot implies an expectation of a mid-range finish, roughly in the neighborhood of eight or nine wins, rather than a slide toward the top of the draft order.

Stone is listed at 6-foot-3 and 315 pounds. The scouting notes describe him as lean for his size, with the mass to line up at multiple spots on the interior and pass-rush upside tied to a quick get-off and long reach.

Defensive tackle is not viewed as the Chargers' most pressing need heading toward next year's draft, but the piece frames a blue-chip interior lineman as a strong fallback option if no elite offensive lineman or skill-position player is on the board when the pick arrives.
