Chargers 2026 NFL Draft needs
Offensive line
It all comes down to the trenches for a Chargers team that has plenty of talent. If they can't protect QB Justin Herbert, they have no chance. The Chargers need a better plan than hoping for health all season from the group up front. They need to improve the depth and search for upgrades, especially on the interior.
Defensive line
The big signing for the pass rush was bringing back Khalil Mack. The big interior addition was Dalvin Tomlinson. These are short-term solutions for a team that doesn't have many defensive line options under contract beyond 2026.
Wide receiver
Similar to Mack and Tomlinson this offseason, the Chargers' answer to fix the receiver spot last offseason was bringing back Keenan Allen. Ladd McConkey needs some help, whether that comes in the form of a receiver or tight end.
