Chargers weigh a trade-down dream at 22, but odds are slim

With the 22nd pick in the NFL Draft, the Chargers reportedly prefer to trade down to add more selections, but a viable partner is unlikely; their top needs are left guard and edge rusher, so they’re eyeing interior offensive-line depth (Ioane, Bisontis, Pregnon, Rutledge, Dunker) or a mobile tackle who could kick inside, while potential moves by teams like the Cardinals to jump up for a quarterback could influence the board—if no trade materializes, sticking at 22 remains the most likely scenario.

Chargers' five-pick draft plan targets guard and edge upgrades

Los Angeles Chargers enter the 2026 NFL Draft with five selections (Nos. 22, 55, 86, 123, 204) and a final 100-prospect big board focused on upgrading left guard and edge rusher. The piece outlines potential fits across Day 1–3, including players who could slide from tackle to guard and other interior/edge options, while weighing medicals and scheme fit for McDaniel’s offense.

Chargers at 22: guard upgrade, tackle insurance, and Johnston's value

With the draft near, the Chargers’ No. 22 pick would likely be used to address left guard rather than lock in a pure tackle, unless the prospect can move inside to guard for McDaniel’s outside-zone scheme. Slater and Alt are expected to return, so the focus is depth at guard and tackle insurance; potential guard targets include Olaivavega Ioane, Chase Bisontis, Emmanuel Pregnon, Keylan Rutledge and Gennings Dunker. Trading Johnston for Day-3 picks doesn’t make sense given his cheap contract and upside, though the team will weigh the fifth-year option before May 1. If they don’t add an edge rusher in the draft, post-draft veteran options (Clowney, Jordan, Floyd, Miller) could surface as targets.

Chargers' 2.0 mock draft targets guard upgrade at No. 22

In Mock 2.0, the Chargers aim to land plug-and-play left guard Vega Ioane at 22 to replace Zion Johnson, with later picks adding edge depth (Gabe Jacas), cornerback (Chandler Rivers), a burner wideout (Brenen Thompson) and a potential interior DL (Landon Robinson) to complete the roster after free agency.

49ers eye Packers guard to fix long-standing left guard issue

With Mike Evans and Vederian Lowe additions, the 49ers are weighing Elgton Jenkins from the Packers to solidify left guard. Jenkins would pair with Trent Williams and bring durability and strong pass protection, but injury history and run-blocking variability pose questions; any move depends on contract and fit within San Francisco's gap-heavy scheme as they continue free agency and the draft.

Chuma Edoga Joins Cowboys' Offensive Line in Free Agency

The Dallas Cowboys have added veteran offensive lineman Chuma Edoga to their roster, providing depth to their offensive line. Edoga, who has played mostly tackle in his career, could compete for the starting spot at left guard to replace Connor McGovern. The Cowboys have more depth at tackle, but guard is a spot that lacks experience after losing McGovern in free agency.
