Bleav in Chargers

With the NFL Draft just hours away, Matt “Money” Smith and Lorenzo Neal go live to break down what the Los Angeles Chargers could do with the 22nd overall pick.

There’s a strong focus on why adding an edge rusher could have the biggest immediate impact for LA, especially for a team ready to compete now. The guys also touch on how late free agency and potential trades could still shape the roster even after the draft.

Plus, they react to live fan questions, run through mock draft scenarios, and set realistic expectations for Chargers fans heading into draft night.

Matt "Money" Smith and Lorenzo Neal preview the 2026 NFL Draft with one week to go, debating whether the Chargers should use pick 22 on OG Chase Bisontis of Texas A&M — a player Matt calls a plug-and-play Pro Bowl candidate — or trade back to accumulate picks while still landing a starter. The guys address the Rueben Bain Jr. car accident story that resurfaced this week, calling it a transparent attempt by rival teams to drive down the Miami edge rusher's value ahead of the draft. Matt walks through four realistic trade-back scenarios, including a deal where Arizona jumps up to grab Alabama QB Ty Simpson, and floats a bold idea of packaging picks 22 and 55 to pry Dexter Lawrence away from a Giants team reportedly at an impasse with their star DT. The episode closes with a live mock draft simulator where the Chargers trade back to 34, land Bisontis, add edge rusher Romello Height at 55, and finish the day building depth in the trenches.
