The Los Angeles Chargers currently have the 22 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, and they have gotten buzz for being the team to clean up and draft a major faller completing a possible dream scenario<\/a>, or more standard selections of; Coleston Loveland, Omarion Hampton, or even defensive talent to help bolster the defense <\/a>that overperformed drastically in 2024.<\/p>\n

However, the most important part of the draft is arguably what they do after their first selection, and for the Chargers that will come at pick 55. If the Chargers were to get any of these second-round targets listed below, considering their draft a victory would not be a far cry. Especially if they win in the first round as we expect them to.<\/a><\/p>\n

Second-Round Targets For The Chargers In The 2025 NFL Draft<\/h2>\n

Jayden Higgins Or Any Big X Receiver<\/h3>\n

Jayden Higgins out of Iowa State is a big-bodied receiver who can win at any position, X, Z, or even at the “Power Slot” role. His reliability in all roles should easily give the Chargers an easy process when scouting Higgins. LWOS Scouting Expert, Ian Harper had this to say about Higgins<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Higgins\u2019 physicality and ability to work through opposing contact easily makes him as effective as he is. He flows with contact and can carry his momentum to continue his designed route concepts. Despite being a larger vertical target, he sinks through his legs well and often uses it to get a step on outside corners. He knows when and where to sit down against zone coverage and makes himself readily available at all levels.”<\/p>\n

That description of a receiver is exactly the skillset the Chargers need, due to their lack of physicality in the receiving room and lack of reliability outside of the standout rookie from last season, Ladd McConkey.<\/a><\/p>\n
