What is the Chargers’ dream scenario in the 2026 NFL Draft?

The Chargers have the No. 22 overall pick in the NFL draft and it remains uncertain which direction the front office will go with needs on both offense and defense. Gilberto Manzano of Sports Illustrated believes the Chargers' dream scenario would be drafting Penn State guard Olaivavega Ioane or offensive lineman Spencer Fano out of Utah.

"You know Jim Harbaugh stays up late at night knowing how badly Justin Herbert needs better protection at the guard spots. The Chargers are set at the other spots with tackles Alt and Rashawn Slater and newcomer center Tyler Biadasz," Manzano writes. "However, L.

A. didn’t do enough in free agency to improve the guard position. Fano might be the better choice for L.

A. because he can play guard and tackle. After all the injuries last year, versatility is a plus for this team.
