Chargers fan favorite weighs in on second round pick OL Jake Slaughter

The second day of the 2026 NFL draft was full of excitement as well as questions. The latter came from many Chargers fans, who were uncertain about the team's No. 63 overall pick.

The Bolts traded out of their original pick at No. 55 overall with the Patriots. Jake Slaughter, an offensive lineman out of Florida, was listed as a center in mock drafts.

However, he was called a guard on Friday night. Slaughter has limited reps at the position, but expressed comfortability moving from center to guard. "I wouldn't say it's the first time I've ever [played guard]," Slaughter said at the NFL Combine.

"I did it a little bit in college, did it a little bit in high school. We just always had great depth at guard, needed to play center and get better at playing center. I look forward to training more at guard, I've been training and getting ready for stuff like this.
