Thus far through the first few early mock drafts for next year, draft analysts believe the Chargers will mainly be looking at one of two positons: Defensive tackle or cornerback. I have not seen one with a player not at one of those two spots. That continues today as CBS Sports’ Ryan Wilson sees the […]
Since the 2026 NFL Draft has concluded, most of the headlines have been surrounding the weapons that the New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis and staff have been assembling to put around QB Tyler Shough. But let’s not overlook the fact that the Brandon Staley’s defense has been getting some attention as well. It […]
Ever since Joe Hortiz stepped foot in the The Bolt as the Chargers’ new general manager, he has spouted about his love for getting the compensatory pick formula rolling as soon as possible. In each of his first three offseasons, that has largely been shown. This offseason specifically, the Chargers had several players go sign […]
The Los Angeles Chargers went into the NFL Draft knowing they needed to help quarterback Justin Herbert as much as possible. That included selecting four offensive linemen that can possibly develop into one of his top guards, but it also meant getting a wide receiver that could help him take the top off of opposing […]

The history of the Chargers is filled with undrafted free agents who paved their way into the lore of the team by overcoming their lack of draft status to be an impact player. This year, there are several interesting players who I believe have more of an inside shot to make the team’s final roster […]
The Chargers have their young tight end for the future in Oronde Gadsden II and recently signed former Ravens tight end Charlie Kolar who is expected to be heavily utilized as a run blocker. Still, the Chargers are continuing to look at filling out their tight end room as they’re hosting former Browns tight end […]

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.
