Los Angeles Chargers Draft Picks

Harbaugh revitalized the Chargers in his first year, leading Los Angeles to an 11-6 record and a trip to the Wild Card Round. Los Angeles ultimately fell to Houston in an ugly 32-12 loss.

The Chargers have 10 picks, including five in rounds six and seven.

With a bounty of picks, don’t be surprised if the Chargers try to package a few together to move up in key rounds.

2025 NFL Draft: Los Angeles’ Team Needs

Tight End

Even in a pass-first NFL, a tight end remains a quarterback’s best friend and security blanket.

Will Dissly finished 17th in receptions (50) and 21st in receiving yards (481) among tight ends.

Since Harbaugh believes in smash-mouth football, adding another big body who can catch over the middle must be on the Chargers’ agenda.

Wide Receiver

The Los Angeles Chargers found the next Cooper Kupp in Ladd McConkey.

Herbert doesn’t have another reliable pass catcher outside of McConkey.

Quentin Johnston showed some promise in 2024, and the team brought back Mike Williams after a disappointing season.

Defensive Tackle

Harbaugh puts a lot of emphasis on winning in the trenches, both offensively and defensively.

The Chargers lost Poona Ford to free agency and must make up his production.

Expect Los Angeles to take a defensive lineman on Day 2.
