Many around the league believe the team nailed the 2025 draft and are excited about the future of the franchise.

During a spot on 'Up & Adams', ESPN NFL analyst Benjamin Solak continued to rave about how the Chargers attacked the draft.

Solak believes that every pick the Chargers made was a certified winner, mentioning that the first round selection of running back Omarion Hampton was the perfect choice.

Hampton dominated the ACC the last two seasons, leading the conference in rushing attempts and rushing yards for two straight seasons.

It also helps that the Chargers added the 2024 SEC Defensive Player of the Year in former South Carolina edge rusher Kyle Kennard.

Don't forget, the Chargers also added two wide receivers in Tre Harris and KeAndre Lambert-Smith. The future is looking awfully bright for head coach Jim Harbaugh and his squad. At least that is the current general consensus.
