Chargers Set for 2027 Compensatory Pick

Los Angeles will add a third‑round pick to its 2027 draft board thanks to the NFL’s compensatory formula, following the trade of edge rusher Odafe Oweh to Washington.

Los Angeles is projected to gain a third‑round compensatory pick in the 2027 NFL Draft after Odafe Oweh signed with the Washington Commanders. The pick comes as the Chargers navigate a lean draft class, having traded away their sixth‑rounder for guard Trevor Penning and their seventh‑rounder for offensive tackle Austin Deculus. GM Dave Ziegler’s strategy of letting veterans depart while limiting free‑agent additions aims to preserve draft capital and build depth around quarterback Justin Herbert. rocore.sbs
