It's officially draft month.
The 2026 NFL Draft kicks off April 23 as the Chargers are slated to have five overall picks.
In the meantime, here are five things to know ahead of one of the NFL offseason's biggest events.
1. How to Watch
The 2026 NFL Draft makes its way to Pittsburgh this year from April 23-25.
This first round of the draft takes place on Thursday (April 23) and begins at 5 p.m. (PT). Rounds 2 and 3 are on Friday afternoon (April 24), with the second round starting at 4 p.m. (PT).
Day 3 of the draft, which includes Rounds 4 through 7, begins Saturday (April 25) at 9 a.m. (PT).
The draft will be broadcast on NFL Network, ESPN and ESPN Deportes as well as streamed on NFL+ and ESPN Unlimited.
2. The Chargers 1st-round pick
The Chargers currently hold the 22nd overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft for the second consecutive season.
The Bolts have picked at No. 22 overall four other times in franchise history, most recently in 2025 when they selected running back Omarion Hampton.
Prior to that, the three other picks were all defensive backs.
The first time they picked in that slot came in 1975 when the team took Mike Williams, who started 101 of 107 games and intercepted 24 passes with the Bolts.
The team also selected at that slot in the 1983 NFL Draft when they selected another cornerback in Gill Byrd. A Chargers Hall of Famer, Byrd played all of his 10 seasons with the Bolts and was a two-time Pro Bowler and one-time Second-Team All-Pro.
Then, the Bolts selected cornerback Darrien Gordon during the 1993 draft, who started every game and led the team in interceptions as well as punt returns during their run to a Super Bowl appearance in 1994.

3. Who could the Bolts take at No. 22?
Similar to last season, the Chargers Round 1 pick sits in a spot where they can go a number of different directions.
A common projection in Chargers mock drafts so far have the Bolts going with a guard at No. 22, the most common name being Penn State's Vega Ioane.
But others also could see the Chargers attacking the defensive trenches instead, with defensive lineman such as Peter Woods, Kayden McDonald as well as edge rushers T.J. Parker or Keldrick Faulk.
One thing is for sure, as NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah pointed out, is the Chargers front office will surely go best player available.
"[Chargers General Manager Joe Hortiz] is going to take the best player. He's not going to worry about what you have in certain spots," Jeremiah said. "He's going to sign some of their own guys in free agency and see what they can do with some of the cap space they have and solve some needs that way, but you go back to the Baltimore organization when they took Jonathan Ogden when they didn't have a need at tackle.
"They took Todd Heap when they didn't have a need at tight end and they Jamal Lewis when they didn't have a need at running back. They're not going to pass on a great player that would happen to fall in their lap," Jeremiah continued.
He later added: "I think they can sit tight and see how it falls."

5. Chargers 2025 draft recap
Hortiz was able to make it back-to-back impactful draft classes in his first two years at the helm.
The Bolts had a number of first-year players who slotted right in as the roster was much deeper at every position in 2025.
Chargers rookies played 2,674 total offensive and defensive snaps this season, a significant amount they needed on the way to another postseason berth.
Hampton, of course, rushed for 545 yards and four touchdowns to go along with 192 receiving yards and a touchdown in just nine games and took over the workload of the backfield as a rookie.
Second-round wide receiver Tre’ Harris was as reliable from Day 1, hauling in 30 receptions for 324 yards and a touchdown but also serving as a crucial member of the room because of his blocking.
Third-round pick Jamaree Caldwell also came in and played in all 17 games, starting five, notching his first career sack and playing the second-most snaps along the defensive line.
The success of Hortiz and his staff also spanned to Day 3 of the draft, where they were able to find impact players such as tight end Oronde Gadsden and safety R.J. Mickens.
That's without mentioning other players such as fourth-round pick Kyle Kennard, fifth-round pick KeAndre Lambert-Smith or undrafted players such as Marlowe Wax and Nikko Reed, who each filled a role and helped the overall depth of the roster.
