Why
Los Angeles needs to reinforce WR and OT; neither position has a clear starter nor reliable depth. Beyond that, DL and EDGE also require competition to avoid falling short in the medium term.

Track record read
Under Hortiz's recent direction, the Chargers have shown a clear inclination to fortify the trenches and offensive perimeter. The selection of Joe Alt in the top-5 the last two years underscores a prioritization of elite tackles, while the R2 bet on McConkey suggests an interest in high-production collegiate receivers. Previously, there was a balance between offensive line (Zion Johnson) and impactful defensive pieces, with some high-floor WR bets that didn't always fully materialize.
The board · Rounds 1–7
Three names per every pick.
Only the rounds where the team owns a pick (per Tankathon). A blend of need plus best value on the board.
First round
3 names
Jeremiah Smith
Ohio State
WRSmith es el WR1 que Herbert necesita: manos seguras, ya gana en el catch point. Techo de all-pro si refina el route tree.
Carter Smith
Indiana
OTFija el LT para siempre; su anchor y pass set resuelven a Herbert. Floor de titular instantáneo, techo dependerá de pulir el pad level.
Colin Simmons
Texas
DLSimmons es el edge rusher de primer paso que esta defensa clama. El techo es top; si lo de la carrera mejora, es oro.
Second round
1 name
Third round
3 names
Wyatt Young
Oklahoma State
WRYoung es justo el WR que cubre ese hueco en el slot; va a ser un chain-mover élite, aunque su techo vertical sea limitado.
Anthonie Knapp
Notre Dame
OTParche inmediato para el lado derecho, sus brazos son un cheat code. Veremos si ese anclaje puede mejorar, ahí está la clave.
Clev Lubin
Louisville
DLAñade ese pop perimetral que buscan, un jugador de 3 down con una base técnica muy sólida. Su techo es altísimo, si añade más arsenal a ese rush.
