    WILD CARD: Chargers Would Get HUGE Boost if Either Kyle Kennard or Junior Colson Can Contribute

    The Chargers have to crush the 2026 Draft, but two former draft picks could end up making a huge impact on their season. Junior Colson and Kyle Kennard have failed to gain traction in their young careers but a player like Justin Eboigbe showed you can have a breakout after a slow start. If either play can surprise this year, they could give a huge boost to Chargers defense. Daniel Wad and David Droegemeier break down the biggest Chargers storylines and overreactions surrounding the team on their Buy or Sell show. The hosts also discuss if the Chargers are hoarding their money for extensions for stars like Derwin James and Tuipulotu, and if the team could shockingly take a cornerback in the first round of the draft.

    GUILTY PART 2: Draft Weapons like Kenyon Sadiq and Chargers Running Game Set to Dominate

    Huge rumors have swirled since Mike McDaniel was hired that the Chargers have been heavily pursuing weapons, and the draft is where they will look to now. Guilty as Charged's Tyler Schoon and Steven Haglund join to discuss if the Chargers could pursue a top tier playmaker in the draft like Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq. Where McDaniel should absolutely thrive is with his new run game led by Omarion Hampton and bolstered by the moves made in free agency. The guests explain why they believe that the Chargers should be a top-three rushing attack in the NFL and why Hampton could be near the league's leaders in rushing yards. Tap in to get an in-depth look at what is to come for the team from four of the top experts breaking it down.  Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

    Los Angeles Chargers weigh trading down in the NFL Draft as fans and analysts debate roster strategy and the path to offensive line upgrades.

    GUILTY CROSSOVER: Can't Miss Players in Round One and Address Offensive Line Early or Fail

    Los Angeles Chargers’ draft strategy could be to trade back but, who are the unmissable prospects worth staying put for at pick 22? Daniel Wade and David Droegemeier team up with Guilty as Charged’s Tyler Schoon and Steven Haglund to spotlight premium offensive linemen like Penn State’s Vega Ioane and Utah’s Spencer Fano as make-or-break options. Trade-back temptations, key Day 2 guard targets, and the hidden perils of waiting too long at OL take center stage—raising the stakes for Joe Hortiz and Jim Harbaugh as they try to protect Justin Herbert. The roundtable tackles Chargers’ offensive line questions, free agency moves, and the looming guard dilemma. Do signings like Tyler Biadasz and Alec Ingold move the needle enough? Where do defensive backfield needs rank, and is Derwin James’s long-term role secure? Insightful analysis, hot takes on draft priorities, and tough questions about commitment to fortifying the trenches make this a must-listen for die-hard Chargers fans on the edge of a pivotal draft.

    URGENCY: Chargers Must PRIORITIZE Guard and EDGE Rusher in the First Three Rounds of the Draft

    Los Angeles Chargers face a critical offseason: failing to upgrade at guard and edge rusher in the early rounds could derail their 2026 ambitions. Should the front office prioritize immediate starters over long-term projects, or is depth at other positions just as urgent to secure Justin Herbert’s future? Daniel Wade and David Droegemeier break down the Chargers’ top five draft needs—spotlighting the urgent holes at guard and edge, where missing out in the first three rounds could prove costly. Hear analysis on the current depth (including Cole Strange, Trevor Penning, and Khalil Mack), evaluate the outlook at wide receiver and cornerback, and debate linebacker’s uncertain future. The conversation highlights why careful draft strategy matters with Donte Jackson, Tuli Tuipulotu, and Tyler Biadasz all playing pivotal roles. Which positions will the Chargers target first, and who can step in to make an instant impact on the roster? Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
