Welcome to Part 4 of our draft preview series, which will be a position-by-position look at key prospects and where the Chargers roster stands ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft<\/a>. This series will include a look at which prospects could be options for the Chargers later this month.<\/p>\n

We chatted with draft analyst Trevor Sikkema to break down the wide receivers in this draft class. Sikkema can be found on X\/Twitter @TampaBayTre<\/a> for his analysis.<\/p>\n

\n Chargers status at wide receiver<\/p>\n

Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, Tre’ Harris, Derius Davis, KeAndre Lambert-Smith, Luke Grimm, Dalevon Campbell and JaQuae Jackson<\/p>\n

The Chargers wide receiver position enters 2026 after another season of solid production.<\/p>\n

While it wasn’t the numbers he put up as a rookie, Ladd McConkey<\/a> once again led the Bolts in receiving yards (789) and added six more scores to his tally.<\/p>\n

McConkey continues his stellar pace over the first two years of his career, as his 1,978 yards are the second-most among players drafted in his class and his 13 touchdowns lead the group.<\/p>\n

Not to mention, he’s also hauled in the second-most receptions and receiving first downs among his draft class.<\/p>\n

Quentin Johnston<\/a> also headlines the Bolts receiver group, as the 24-year-old put together an even stronger season than the year before.<\/p>\n

He surpassed his career-best yardage total with 735 and once again had a knack for the end zone, scoring a team-leading eight touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Then there’s intriguing second-year receiver Tre\u2019 Harris,<\/a> who played a big role as a blocker and showed flashes of his ability on every level on the field.<\/p>\n

Harris’ numbers as a rookie don’t tell the whole story and he’s now a player who enters 2026 with plenty of eyes on him to see how he can perform in Mike McDaniel’s offense.<\/p>\n

Derius Davis and second-year receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith each handled their respective return duties last season, as they enter big years with plenty of chance to make some noise.<\/p>\n

The group is rounded out by Luke Grimm, Dalevon Campbell and JaQuae Jackson, each of whom spent time on the team’s practice squad last season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to Part 4 of our draft preview series, which will be a position-by-position look at key prospects…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":857111,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[116149,37,7,34,38,6,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-857110","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl-draft","8":"tag-2026-draft-editorial","9":"tag-app-homepage","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-homepage-cp","12":"tag-homepage-headlines","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-nfl-draft"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/857110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=857110"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/857110\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/857111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=857110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=857110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=857110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
