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.

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.

The rest of the picks will not be officially slotted until the league announces the 2023 compensatory picks ahead of the draft.
