The Super Bowl has officially concluded, marking the end of another tremendous NFL season. Teams are now shifting gears to the offseason, making plans for free agency and the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft.

The Los Angeles Chargers completely turned their hopes around in Year one of the Jim Harbaugh era, sparking a playoff run on the heels of a resurgent defense and the arm of Justin Herbert. The rest of the roster needs fine-tuning, but Chargers fans can rest easy in the hope for the future.

How can they use the 2025 NFL Draft to continue building around Justin Herbert? 

Los Angeles Chargers Post-Super Bowl 7-round 2025 NFL Mock Draft


Round 1, Pick 22: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan

The Chargers haven't hidden their interest in upgrading their defensive line in the offseason. With several free agents up front, the Chargers need to lock down their defensive front for the long term. 

The Chargers and Kenneth Grant feel like a perfect match for each other, given the Chargers' needs up front and Grant's familiarity with the staff and scheme. 


Round 2, Pick 55: Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina

The Chargers are going to continue improving their run game heading into 2025. While their offseason will likely be spent attacking their offensive line, they should also capitalize on the best running back class in decades early to add a difference-maker to their offense. 

Omarion Hampton's bull in a china shop style of rushing makes him a natural fit in the Chargers' downhill power rushing attack. 


Round 3, Pick 86: Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford

At some point, the Chargers will have to start investing into the wide receiver room. Ladd McConkey is an awesome option, but he can't do it all. 

Elic Ayomanor is an intriguing height/weight/speed option whose bullying mentality as a run blocker is a perfect fit with the type of mentality the Chargers are looking for on offense. 


Round 4, Pick 124: Jah Joyner, EDGE, Minnesota

While it does feel like the Chargers will re-sign Khalil Mack, they need to continue filling out their pass rush room, given the age and durability of Mack and Bosa. 

Jay Joyner is a fun developmental stash option with his explosiveness and length. 


Round 5, Pick 159: Jalin Conyers, TE, Texas Tech

The Chargers under offensive coordinator Greg Roman major in heavy personnel sets. With that approach, they must continue to add more weapons in the tight end room. 

Jalin Conyers' athleticism makes him a mismatch weapon as a flexible tight end who can line up in multiple alignments and diversify the Chargers' offense. 


Round 6, Pick 183: BJ Adams, CB, UCF 

With multiple free agents in their cornerback room, it seems pretty likely that the Chargers will draft at least one corner in the 2025 NFL Draft. 

Their mold seems to be long, physical corners, and that fits UCF's BJ Adams to a T. His long arms and aggressive mentality in coverage can see him carve out a role on the Chargers' defense.  


Round 6, Pick 201: Jake Majors, OL, Texas 

The Chargers are poised to attack their offensive line in free agency, but I'd still expect them to draft at least one player up front, particularly along the interior. 

Jake Majors is a savvy, physical vet who seems destined to be a solid backup or spot starter for a team for several seasons. 


Round 7, Pick 220: Dont'e Thornton Jr., WR, Tennessee

If the Chargers don't come out of the draft with multiple wide receivers, it would feel like an indictment of their process. 

Dont'e Thornton Jr. is an impressive athlete whose deep speed could open the Chargers' passing game up vertically.
