Offensive Line in Round 1?

We’re less than three weeks from the 2025 NFL Draft.

The Chargers currently hold the No. 22 overall pick and could go a handful of different routes in Round 1.

This is the first of a four-part series looking at potential options the Chargers have in the first round, beginning with a focus on possible offensive linemen.

The Chargers are set at tackle with Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt, both of whom were first-round picks in recent years.

Alt was the No. 5 overall selection a year ago, the first draft pick under Joe Hortiz and Jim Harbaugh.

But the interior of the Bolts offensive line is a little more murky, even after the Chargers signed Mekhi Becton in free agency.

Harbaugh said last week that he expects Becton to remain at right guard, a spot he thrived at in 2024 while helping the Eagles win the Super Bowl.

Hortiz and Harbaugh both said this offseason that Zion Johnson, another former first-rounder, will get reps at center after playing both guard spots in recent years.

The Chargers also have Trey Pipkins III and Jamaree Salyer on the roster, brought back Bradley Bozeman and signed Andre James in free agency.

Harbaugh said at the 2025 Annual League Meeting that he loved the flexibility and versatility of that group on the interior, but perhaps the Chargers use the No. 22 pick to find a potential long-term option at either guard or center.
