The official draft slots are to be released by the league closer to the draft.
With that, here is a look at the Bolts’ projected order of picks.
As it stands, the Chargers have seven total draft picks.
In the 2023 NFL draft, the Chargers will not have a compensatory pick, according to Over The Cap.
The league awards 32 compensatory draft picks each year based on free-agent losses and gains by teams. If a team loses more free agents than it signs, they can receive draft compensation.
While they are not receiving, Los Angeles is giving.
Per Over The Cap’s projections, the Patriots could receive a fourth-round pick for J.C. Jackson. The Rams could get a sixth-round selection for Sebastian Joseph-Day.
The Chargers have seven total draft picks as it stands.
Round 1: No. 21
Round 2: No. 54
Round 3: No. 85

Round 7:
The rest of the picks will not be officially slotted until the league announces the 2023 compensatory picks ahead of the draft.
The Los Angeles Chargers are in good standing.
Following the Chargers’ Week 15 win over the Raiders, they would now be slated to own the No. 9 overall selection if the season ended today.
Prior to their victory, Los Angeles would have been picking No. 4 overall, but now, they’re barely inside of the top 10.
The Bolts, along with five other teams possess a 5-9 record. However, since they have a weaker strength of schedule, they’re projected to pick earlier on than the others.
The Chargers are loaded with talent on both sides of the ball, but there could be some holes to fill depending on what the team decides to do with their unrestricted free agents.
Los Angeles could go a multitude of ways, including selecting the top offensive lineman to protect quarterback Justin Herbert, take an edge rusher to compliment Joey Bosa, snag a premiere cornerback, or give Herbert another weapon.
