ESPN's FPI projects just a 4% chance for the Los Angeles Chargers to land the number 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft, but could those odds be far too low? As the Chargers remain winless at 0-6, a top 5 draft pick seems increasingly likely, especially with a crucial Week 16 matchup against the Miami Dolphins potentially deciding the race for the first overall pick. Justin Herbert, Tre Harris, and Ladd McConkey are central to the Chargers’ struggling offense, which ranks 30th in the NFL and last in EPA per play. With Harris battling a hamstring injury, the spotlight turns to whether his return could reignite the passing game and help the Bolts break their losing streak. Will the return of key receivers turn the tide for Los Angeles, or is a high draft pick all but guaranteed?
