Follow for live updates from the NFL draft from Pittsburgh, including all the draft action.
Jim Harbaugh turned around the Los Angeles Chargers in his first two seasons as head coach with back-to-back finishes of 11-6. But the team’s failure to win a playoff game has created some anxiety and urgency.
Part of the solution might be found this week in Pittsburgh, site of the 2026 NFL Draft.
The Chargers lost several players in free agency. The three-day, seven-round draft will be a chance to make up for it. They’ll arrive armed with five draft picks, including their first rounder – No. 22 overall.
Justin Herbert, the team’s starting quarterback, will be only as good as his offensive line, and that line needs help. The defensive line could use an infusion of young talent, too.
