The Chargers will likely be drafting high in the 2027 NFL draft after starting 0-6 this season. The good news is there will be plenty of good players to draft this year.

Here are six names to know.

Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State, WR
Colin Simmons, Texas, EDGE
Drew Mestemaker, Oklahoma State, QB
Darian Mensah, Miami, QB
Dylan Stewart, South Carolina, Edge
Leonard Moore, Notre Dame, CB

The Chargers may not want to lose quarterback Justin Herbert, but if they were to do so and get a good return in draft picks, a quality quarterback could be available at their first pick. Or they could simply draft Jeremiah Smith for Herbert to target.
