Why
The Los Angeles Chargers' current priorities begin at offensive tackle (OT) and defensive line (DL). Cornerback (CB) and wide receiver (WR) are the next groups that should be reinforced heading into the 2027 NFL Draft.

How he drafts
Track record read
Under Hortiz's recent direction, the Chargers have shown a clear inclination to fortify the trenches and offensive perimeter. The selection of Joe Alt in the top-5 the last two years underscores a prioritization of elite tackles, while the R2 bet on McConkey suggests an interest in high-production collegiate receivers. Previously, there was a balance between offensive line (Zion Johnson) and impactful defensive pieces, with some high-floor WR bets that didn't always fully materialize.
The board · Rounds 1–7
Only the rounds where the team owns a pick (per Tankathon). A blend of need plus best value on the board.
First round
3 names
Texas
OTElite feet and length to lock down tackle for Herbert; massive ceiling if the staff fixes his anchor against bull rushes.
South Carolina
DLBrings pure bend and juice to Minter's defensive front. Still raw with his hands, but the athletic ceiling is massive.
Mississippi State
CBThe long outside CB to lock down the boundary in press. High-ceiling bet: keep him out of space and he erases people.
Second round
3 names
Texas
OTClean feet and length to protect Herbert. Immediate pass pro value, but his anchor against power caps the true ceiling.
Miami
DLBrings a violent first step to the interior defensive line. Still raw as a rusher, but the physical ceiling is undeniable.
Indiana
CBTailor-made length for this Cover 3 perimeter; lacks the mass for physical press, but that ball production plays anywhere.
Third round
3 names
Auburn
OTSwing tackle with length and quick feet to protect Herbert's edge. Zero run push today, but the pass pro already plays.
UCLA
DLInstant gap-shooting juice for their interior rotation. Elite first step; the only real question is his anchor.
Michigan State
CBBoundary depth for off-zone looks with natural anticipation. The instincts are there; the real test is whether his 170-pound frame holds up.
