The 2024 NFL season was one of renewed hope for the Los Angeles Chargers. In their first season under coach Jim Harbaugh, the Chargers more than doubled their win total from the previous season, improving from 5-12 to 11-6, and making the playoffs, where they lost in the wild card round to the Houston Texans.

The 2025 NFL draft is in full swing. With ten picks, including the 22nd overall pick, the Chargers are in a great position to bolster their roster ahead of the regular season.

The Rams have the 26th overall pick in the first round. A mock draft by ESPN predicts the New York Giants will make a trade to move up and send picks 34 and 99 to the Rams. This trade is not official and is only being predicted by ESPN sports analysts.
