| 4/26/25 | Grading Chargers' fifth-round selection of wide receiver Keandre Lambert-Smith.

In the case of Lambert-Smith, he won't be able to be a do-it-all receiver at the next level, but he won't need to be. He has tremendous speed and the ability to get separation on a consistent basis down the field. Derius Davis has flashed potential for the team, but it just hasn't been consistent enough. Justin Herbert needs a player he can find down the field in a pinch and while the Chargers have tried some mystifying options for that role such as Jalen Reagor, Lambert-Smith has all of the ability Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/los-angeles-ch... |

| 10/07/24 | Chargers still looking at NFL's new kickoff rules as a work in progress.
