The Los Angeles Chargers have made some under-the-radar additions during NFL free agency so far. The 2025 NFL Draft remains a huge task ahead of them, and Jim Harbaugh must have a plan to navigate it.
I ran through a four-round mock draft scenario for Los Angeles. Check out their picks below.
Los Angeles Chargers 4-round mock draft
Round 1, Pick 22: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State
Egbuka, even as a former Buckeye, profiles as the sort of wideout that Jim Harbaugh would love. He works his rear off in the running game as a blocker and proved himself as a downfield threat throughout his college career.
At the WR position, LA needs more help. They brought back Mike Williams in free agency, and Keenan Allen remains available. That being said, there is still a need a need at the position as of now.
Egbuka would slot in as a nearly perfect second option to Ladd McConkey, ahead of Williams and Quentin Johnston, among other depth options.
Egbuka's elite straight-line speed demands respect from defensive backs, but it's his technical polish that will determine his NFL trajectory. The tape shows a receiver who wins with craft as much as athleticism, using subtle tempo changes and precise footwork to create separation. His reliable hands and advanced route understanding translate well to the next level, though he'll need to expand his release package against NFL press coverage.
The fit has to be right for his skillset to flourish early. His experience in Ohio State's option-heavy passing game makes him an ideal match for systems that emphasize timing and spatial awareness. Picture him working the intermediate areas in San Francisco's offense or Green Bay's – schemes where his sharp cuts and understanding of leverage will shine. However, he'll need development time to master the boundary techniques and physical aspects required for full-time outside duties. — NFL Draft Buzz
Round 2, Pick 55: Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas
Jackson is an interesting evaluation for more reasons than one. He's got a massive frame at 6'6" and 264 pounds. At his size, he dominated the NFL Scouting Combine and could be off the board by this selection.
If not, I would fully expect Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers front office to have interest in the Razorback product. Edge rusher is a huge need for their defense still, following the departure of Joey Bosa.
Landon Jackson is a fascinating player to evaluate. On the surface, his frame and his absurd wingspan stands out as being NFL quality. His frame even allows for him to add bulk at the next level if he and his future team think that's the best plan for him.That frame and length though is not matched by athletic traits that inspire a lot of confidence. While he can win with power and a long-arm move, the athleticism isn't there to consistently get to the corner. Jackson at times looks stiff and clunky in his movements. He profiles as a strong option with starting ability because of his length and power, which still has room to improve, but his athletic profile limits his eventual upside. — Jon Helmkamp
Round 3, Pick 86: Charles Grant, OL, William & Mary
Love the versatility of Grant. He can be a swing tackle option in a pinch, but his long-term value may be inside. The Chargers just signed Mekhi Becton to start at guard, but Zion Johnson has had his fair share of struggles at the NFL level so far.
Grant provides immediate competition inside and can swoop into the starting lineup at some point in 2025 if necessary for Los Angeles. He's a good mover at his size and could boost the run game for the Chargers as he develops.
Grant absolutely mauled folks at his level of competition last season.
Round 4, Pick 125: Nohl Williams, CB, California
The Chargers have added two cornerbacks in Donte Jackson and Benjamin St. Juste so far in free agency. With that, they've also lost Kristian Fulton on the back end. Asante Samuel Jr. remains a free agent.
With all of that in mind, I still see CB as a need for Los Angeles on day two or three of the draft. Williams is a ball-hawking prospect in the secondary, who is a little bit underrated as of now in the process.
Williams consistently uses his hands well and shows effort in the run game. At nearly 6'1" and 200 pounds, he's got prototypical size for the pros, too. Solid value here and fills a need on defense for LA.
