Everybody knows that the Los Angeles Chargers need to prioritize the offensive line this offseason. While they aren’t known as big spenders, the Chargers shouldn’t spare any expense to fix the issue that plagued their 2025 season.
The Chargers will have over $100 million in cap space, but only five draft picks. They traded a 2026 fifth-rounder for Odafe Oweh back in October, then a seventh-rounder for Elijah Molden in 2024. This means the Chargers have to be extremely analytical with their approach in the draft.
Five picks aren’t a lot, but if they can hit on the majority of them, it could take them over the top. The Chargers’ top pick will be No.22 overall, the same spot they were in last year when Omarion Hampton was selected.
It’s pretty clear the Chargers will most likely draft an offensive lineman early in April. Max Chadwick of PFF released a mock draft that has the Bolts selecting an interior protector for Justin Herbert.
