The Los Angeles Chargers dropped their third consecutive game on Sunday to the Denver Broncos. Their record took a dip to 4-8, but where they would be picking in the draft crept up.
If the season ended today, the Chargers would hold the No. 10 pick in the 2020 NFL draft.
Entering this season, Los Angeles never would have thought that they would be in this position. But injuries, a coaching change midway through the season and in-game blunders they haven’t been able to overcome put them here.
With the playoffs out of reach, it’s time to start looking towards the future of a talented team that could get back to where they were anticipating to be in with a good haul of young players this offseason to strengthen the roster even more.
Having a higher draft position will ensure that they’re able to have a plethora of talent to choose from. With four games remaining, with only one opponent with a losing record (Jacksonville Jaguars), there’s a strong chance they will retain this slot or creep up rather than move down.
