Dream targets for the Chargers at No. 22 overall in 2025 NFL draft

With the NFL draft taking place tonight, the Los Angeles Chargers are hoping the board will fall in their favor. Sitting at the No. 22 overall pick, it'll be a while before the Bolts are on the clock. With their perceived intention to draft an offensive playmaker, the Chargers may have a few options already in mind.

However, there are a few dream scenarios that could certainly have them sprinting to the podium if it were to happen. Let's take a look at three prospects the Chargers would love to see fall to 22.

TE Tyler Warren, Penn State

The undisputed No. 1 tight end in the class, Warren has been mocked as high as No. 7 to the New York Jets. Warren exploded for 104 catches, 1,233 yards and eight touchdowns for the Nittany Lions in 2024. Standing at 6'6, 257 pounds, Warren would give Justin Herbert a literal massive target to throw to. He'd also be a perfect complement to Ladd McConkey in the Chargers' offense. Warren likely won't be there, but it'd be amazing if he fell.

TE Colston Loveland, Michigan

While Loveland has been the most popular player linked to the Chargers this offseason, there's certainly a chance that Jim Harbaugh's favorite prospect could be picked before them. Nevertheless, the Chargers would be ecstatic if Loveland were to fall to them at 22.

Loveland had 56 catches for 582 yards and five touchdowns for the Wolverines in 2024. Like Warren, Loveland would be another major target for Justin Herbert and the Chargers' offense.

WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona

A name that's slipped recently, McMillan would be an excellent pick for the Bolts if he fell to 22, which is unlikely. McMillan had 84 catches for 1,319 yards and eight touchdowns for the Wildcats last season. A 6'5, 212 pound option along the outside to pair with McConkey sounds like a dream.
