If the season were to end today, the Chargers would have earned the 8th-overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft with their 1-4 record, marking back-to-back years where they have picked within the top 10.
The last time the Bolts picked in the top 10 in consecutive seasons was the 2016 and 2017 seasons where they selected defensive ens Joey Bosa and wide receiver Mike Williams at #3 and #7, respectively.
The #8-overall pick doesn’t have the greatest track record of success over the last 10 years, with two of the picks being out of the NFL as of this moment and another four who are on their second team.
