There are a lot of variables that will come into play for the LA Chargers in the 2025 NFL Draft. This is not like the 2024 NFL Draft, where the Chargers reasonably knew they would be picking between two players with the fifth overall pick. There is a lot more variance with the 22nd pick in the draft as the Chargers have to sit back and see what transpires before them. That being said, there are still a lot of talented prospects in the 20s that could have an immeadiate impact in 2025. As a result, the Chargers could try and take advantage of a strategy that other smart teams have utilized and trade back in the draft. The Chargers have not traded back in the first round since Eli Manning forced his way off the team. It's been that long.
