Chargers NFL Draft needs

• Fill the pass rushing gap: The chargers had one of the best defensive units in the NFL last season, but free agency has created a gap. Odafe Oweh was the Chargers' primary edge rusher in 2026, and had three sacks in their playoff loss to the Patriots. Now with the Commanders, the Chargers have huge shoes to fill to replace Oweh's production.
• Add a receiver: Passing was not actively negative for the Chargers in 2025, but it was par for the course, finishing 18th. With the chance to create an above average team of receivers, the Chargers may look to capitalize by adding a receiver in the draft. It may not come on Day 1, but there are still high-upside receivers that could be available on Day 2.
• Offensive line: The O-Line was quite the strength for the Chargers in 2025, but several members are departing. This creates a few openings, notably at OT. To keep up this level of production, the Chargers may need to target a replacement tackle in the draft.
