Per Daniel Popper and Over The Cap, the Chargers are projected to receive a 6th round compensatory pick for RB JK Dobbins. Much needed, if true.

Doing a mock draft with only 5 picks is kinda depressing tbh... Joe Hortiz should absolutely trade down multiple times in April.

I think these poor Notre Dame tackles are gonna have nightmares about Rueben Bain and Akheem Mesidor for the rest of their lives. Probably the most dominant game tape I've ever watched from an EDGE duo. Bain will be long gone by the time the Chargers pick, but am definitely curious about Mesidor.

Not sure why are they some Chargers fans who think Omarion Hampton isn't a fit in Mike McDaniel's offense. I think he is going to absolutely feast next season as long as he stays healthy. Especially with better health up front.

Still just entering his age 30 season in 2026. Has been very productive and durable over the last 6 seasons. Chad Alexander connection should help here.

If the Chargers are going to spend on an external defensive free agent this year, DT John Franklin-Myers is my top choice.
Finished last season tied for 18th in total pressures with 39
8 sacks was tied for 5th
12.7 pass rush win rate was tied tied for 15th on PFF and was 8th in ESPN’s at 10%.

Watch Clemson DT Peter Woods (#11) win against the RT's down block and then also win against the pulling guard for this TFL. There are definitely some inconsistencies to his tape from 2025 but I just can't ignore his elite flashes.

Cole Strange is a name to keep an eye on for the Chargers next month imo. Left a really good impression on Mike McDaniel and Butch Barry last year. Would be a really good option for the backup swing IOL spot. t.co/wmYjHXvMFC

I think they have to be aggressive in free agency to get two starting IOL, then the third early in the draft.
At edge rusher they just need to bring their guys back.

Would be amazing but sounds like the Eagles are not going to let him out of the building still.

Should be a significantly better free agent guard group this year which should help the Chargers solidify that group. David Edwards is my top option but Isaac Seumalo or Wyatt Teller would help a lot too. Obviously have the Alijah Vera-Tucker connection with Chad Alexander but that's much riskier.

(Not against another year with Keenan back if necessary. But cannot be at the expense of continuing to develop the young guys.)
Too many other needs to be spending $25 million+ per year on George Pickens (not going anywhere), Alec Pierce, Romeo Doubs, etc.

If the Chargers are going to pay up for an external veteran WR, the only one I’m particularly interested in is Rashid Shaheed. Otherwise they can find their gadget/return specialist in the draft and be comfortable rolling into next season with Ladd, QJ, Tre, KLS, and that rookie imo.

Excited to start diving into free agency on our show tonight by sorting through the Chargers internal free agents. Going live at 6 PM! youtube.com/live/XwAkf7d...

Little Sunday night Chargers mock draft. Really would love to see Mike Elston get an opportunity to develop a 1st round DT talent like Christen Miller

He had a very, very low draft evaluation last year which is why he went back to school. So I would be surprised if he moved his way all the up to “falling to round 2” category.

Haven't watched Jake Slaughter yet and was not a huge fan of Parker Brailsford for those wondering why they are not in this group.

I wouldn’t be mad at the Chargers if they spend big in free agency to fix the center spot (Linderbaum or McGovern), but I’m really liking this center class so far. Connor Lew, Sam Hecht, Logan Jones, and Jager Burton all stand out as strong potential fits in Mike McDaniel’s scheme.

asked Western Michigan EDGE Nadame Tucker at the Senior Bowl about what the Chargers can expect from new defensive coordinator Chris O'Leary, who coordinated Tucker at WMU this season:

So refreshing to hear Mike McDaniel's approach to calling offense. The Chargers are in such good hands with him!

I think there is yeah but wouldn't surprise me if MCD wanted his own WR's coach

Shane is absolutely safe

Some names to keep an eye on for Chargers new OC Mike McDaniel's staff:
- Frank Smith 🐐
- Butch Barry (current MIA OL coach)
- Dwayne Ledford (former Falcons OL coach)
- Chandler Henley (current MIA run game specialist)
- Josh Grizzard (former TB OC/MIA WR's)

Now that Mike McDaniel to the Chargers is official:

Ladd McConkey looking at all the motions he's about to run

Jake Bobo ROUTE omg

Entire AFC was kind of a mess this year. Don’t think either of these teams are actually Super Bowl good. Bummer the Chargers couldn’t take advantage.

The Ravens are hiring Dennard Wilson as their defensive coordinator. Wilson interviewed with the Chargers earlier this weekend. The Giants had also been linked to Anthony Weaver and Jim Leonhard

Supposed to be trained to not blow the whistle there!

Aren’t officials trained to not blow the whistle there???

Love it!
