After the 39-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday afternoon, the draft position for the Los Angeles Chargers improved.
The Chargers (5-9) moved up a draft slot to currently hold the ninth pick in the 2020 NFL draft. For the past two weeks, they have held the No. 10 overall selection.
The Bolts have only selected in the top-10 twice over the past 15 years. Both players remain on the roster and have been key contributors since coming onboard.
Defensive end Joey Bosa was drafted with the No. 3 overall selection in the 2016 NFL draft, while wide receiver Mike Williams was the No. 7 overall selection a year later.
The Chargers finish the season against the 6-8 Oakland Raiders and the 10-4 Kansas City Chiefs.
If they lose both games, Los Angeles could very well end up picking close to the top-5 depending on the outcome of the other teams that are around there — Arizona Cardinals (4-9-1), New York Jets (5-9) and Jacksonville Jaguars (5-9).
