4/30/25 | Draft analyst says Chargers' first-round pick spells success for Greg Roman's offense. Under new head coach Jim Harbaugh in 2024, the playoff-bound Los Angeles Chargers turned to power football and became far less reliant on talented quarterback Justin Herbert. Harbaugh and the Bolts have every intention on building on that formula as the franchise looks to make back-to-back playoff appearances since winning four straight AFC West titles from 2006-09. This offseason, the club added four-time 1,000-yard runner Najee Harris (Steelers) in free agency.

The Los Angeles Chargers added another offensive weapon for quarterback Justin Herbert with their first-round selection in the 2025 NFL draft, picking North Carolina running back Omarion Hampton with the No. 22 overall pick in the selection process. On Tuesday, the Chargers announced the jersey numbers for each of the team's rookie additions — starting with Hampton. Hampton, who wore the No. 28 throughout his collegiate career with the Tar Heels, will begin his NFL career wearing the No. 8. Source: https://sports.yahoo.com/article/chargers-announce... |

4/28/25 | Chargers rookie lands bold prediction that should excite Justin Herbert. The Los Angeles Chargers had plenty of business to take care of in the NFL draft, and for the most part, they did a fine job of addressing it. The Chargers entered the draft with some very pressing offensive needs, specifically in terms of finding more weapons for Justin Herbert. They responded by selecting a running back, two wide receivers and a tight end. Bleacher Report's Gary Davenport specifically likes Los Angeles' decision to nab Ole Miss receiver Tre Harris in the second round, and he listed Harris among six value picks that could become Fantasy Football stars next season.

4/28/25 | Chargers heavily disrespected in post-NFL draft power rankings. The Los Angeles Chargers definitely improved their roster in the NFL Draft, filling some very obvious holes and adding some intriguing weapons for quarterback Justin Herbert. Well, in the newest set of Pro Football Network's power rankings, Los Angeles came in at No. 12, and here's the catch: the Chargers were two spots behind the Denver Broncos.

4/26/25 | Grading Chargers' third-round selection of defensive tackle Jamaree Caldwell. After taking two offensive playmakers to give Justin Herbert some help in the coming season, the Los Angeles Chargers switched their focus to the biggest area of weakness, the defensive line, and found a player who could have an immediate impact. Jamaree Caldwell was taken with the No. 86 overall selection in the draft. A space eater in every sense of the word, Caldwell could be a true nose tackle for the team, something Jim Harbaugh will covet on defense this season. With the defensive line having a projected starting lineup of Otito Ogbinnia, Teair Tart and Da'Shawn Hand prior to the start of the draft, it was clear that the team needed more help.

4/23/25 | Los Angeles Chargers' new addition predicts big plays with Justin Herbert reunion. While a lot of old-guard QB's don't show for non-mandatory workouts like the ones that the Los Angeles Chargers began on Tuesday, Pro Bowler Justin Herbert was laced up and ready to go. Herbert likely still feels the sting of an early playoff exit last season, a wild card loss the Houston Texans in which the Chargers managed just 12 points and Herbert threw four INT's. Given Herbert's oft-cited competitiveness and toughness, it was no surprise that he was in attendance -- -- an appearance that had several Chargers fired up, including new/old Bolt, WR Mike Williams.

4/21/25 | Chargers' top pick called out before NFL Draft, could see his job stolen. The Los Angeles Chargers have some pretty vital decisions to make heading into the NFL Draft, and perhaps none is more important than providing Justin Herbert with more weapons. Outside of Ladd McConkey, Herbert doesn't really have a single dependable target in the aerial attack, and that's thanks much in part to the massive disappointment that has been Quentin Johnston. The Chargers selected Johnston in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, but he has fallen flat over his first couple of seasons, and Jason Reed of Bolt Beat feels that the 23-year-old could potentially lose his job depending on what Los Angeles does in the draft this week.

4/19/25 | The Chargers wouldn't dare to make this chaotic NFL Draft move, right?. The Los Angeles Chargers have been incessantly linked to tight end Colston Loveland with the 22nd overall pick in the NFL Draft, and understandably so. After all, the Chargers desperately need to supply Justin Herbert with weapons, and the tight end position is one of their biggest holes.

The Los Angeles Chargers , general manager Joe Hortiz and head coach Jim Harbaugh have a variety of needs to address in the 2025 NFL draft and a small army of picks to deploy in the effort. That's what makes the 10-pick team so much fun in seven-round mock drafts.

4/15/25 | Chargers predicted to trade up with Bucs to draft 104-catch former Heisman candidate. As the offseason continues, questions still remain about how the Los Angeles Chargers will upgrade their pass-catcher group for quarterback Justin Herbert. The Chargers lost Joshua Palmer in free agency and replaced him with Mike Williams, but the veteran wideout is coming off a down season that suggests he may not be able to contribute much. Los Angeles does have two young receivers in Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston, but the jury is still out on the latter after inconsistent play over his first two seasons in the NFL. One avenue the Chargers could take to add to their lackluster group of pass-catchers is the 2025 NFL draft. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/chargers/chargers-predicted... |
4/14/25 | Raiders projected to ruin Chargers' plans by stealing away coveted weapon. The Los Angeles Chargers haven't really done a whole lot to address their biggest issue this offseason, which is finding more weapons for Justin Herbert. Yes, the Chargers did reunite with Mike Williams, but they also lost Joshua Palmer. At this stage of Williams' career, that might actually be a wash. Now, Los Angeles has been regularly linked to Keenan Allen, who remains on the free-agent market in spite of enjoying a solid 2024 campaign with the Chicago Bears.

4/13/25 | Chargers trade pitch adds elite 6-time 1,000-yard wide receiver for Justin Herbert. If the Los Angeles Chargers want to put quarterback Justin Herbert in the best position possible to succeed in 2025 while also improving their chances of taking yet another step forward, the team must add more weapons for him to throw to. As things stand now, the Chargers have a budding star in wide receiver Ladd McConkey, but the jury is still very much out on Quentin Johnston, and Mike Williams isn't more than a depth option at this stage in his career. Making matters worse, Los Angeles also lost Joshua Palmer in free agency. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/chargers/chargers-trade-pit... |
