Back to EpisodesChargers Trade Down in 2026 Draft for More Picks
Description
The Los Angeles Chargers, with pick number twenty-two in the 2026 NFL Draft, are considering trading down for the first time since 2003. General manager Joe Hortiz prefers building through the draft, focusing on smaller deals to manage the cap. The team aims to stock up on affordable young talent, emphasizing depth over stars. While fans hoped for splashy free-agent moves, Hortizs strategy aligns with long-term roster growth. No glaring first-round must-haves stand out, but defensive tackle or wide receiver could tempt them. Trading down a few spots still nets solid players and extra picks, keeping their draft flexible and future strong.
