Finally, the moment you’ve all been waiting for: Rookie jersey numbers! Best Number: OT Travis Burke Double numbers are always the best-looking, in my opinion. I think 77 is the best offensive lineman number with Jake Slaughter and 66 being a close second. Add in that a 6’9 guy is going to wear 77 and […]
The Los Angeles Chargers knew they needed to get some help for the secondary during the NFL Draft and they got that in defensive back Genesis Smith, the No. 131 overall pick out of Arizona. Smith is someone that could have gone much sooner in the draft, but the Chargers stopped his slide on Day […]
It’s truly never too early to get a head start on the next year’s draft. At least, that’s my humble opinion. It’s also even better when the player that gets paired with the Chargers is one of the most-exciting defenders coming out in next year’s draft. The Chargers pick at No. 24 in Jordan Reid’s […]
The Los Angeles Chargers offensive line was decimated by injuries this past season, losing Rashawn Slater for the year and Joe Alt for a significant chunk of the season.

While none of the words thrown into power rankings at this point in the offseason truly matter until the pads come on and we start to really see how each team has improved from their offseason moves, it’s still a tried-and-true (and enjoyable!) method to forecast the season and try to stack all 32 teams […]
Opinions run rampant before, during, and after each year’s NFL draft. Of course, nothing drastically changed this year and that’s why we’re going to continue talking about them.

With the 204th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers select offensive tackle/guard Alex Harkey out of the University of Oregon.

The Los Angeles Chargers’ pass rush got off to a slow start in 2025 and badly needed an injection of talent off the edge. The Baltimore Ravens, meanwhile, needed a third safety to free up Kyle Hamilton for a more versatile role near the line of scrimmage. Odafe Oweh had just 12 pressures and zero […]
With the 145th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers select defensive tackle Nick Barrett out of the University of South Carolina. The 6’3, 312-pound Barrett was a one-year starter for the Gamecocks who played 39 games as a reserve before starting all 12 games in 2025. He ended his final collegiate […]
With the 131st pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers select safety Genesis Smith out of the University of Arizona. Smith is a springy and lengthy safety standing at 6’2 and 203 pounds. He had a very impressive 42.5-inch vertical at the combine while also running a 4.18 in the short shuttle. […]
With the 117th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers select offensive tackle Travis Burke out of the University of Memphis.

Welcome to the 2026 NFL Draft! The Chargers entered the 2026 NFL Draft with five total picks. Entering the third and final day of the event, they now have nine total with seven of their picks coming in rounds four through seven. In the first round, the Chargers hit on one of their two biggest […]
With the 105th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers select speedy wide receiver Brennen Thompson out of Mississippi State University. The 5’9, 167-pound Thompson sure is small by NFL standards, but you simply cannot coach the 4.26 40 time he ran at this year’s combine. That speed helped him lead the […]
The Chargers had one pick each in the second and third rounds of this year’s draft. By the end of day two, Joe Hortiz and Co. had selected Florida center Jake Slaughter with their second-round pick (No.63) while trading completely out of the third round. With a pair of trade backs, the Chargers gained four […]
