Giants Trade for Top Pick, Chargers' Draft Plans Shaken

0:00The New York Giants just traded their star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals for the 10th overall pick in this week's draft. Now the Giants have two top 10 selections, while the Los Angeles Chargers watch from afar, missing a shot at that elite playmaker. Charger spans my field of sting, but matching a top 10 pick was never realistic anyway. This highlights how the team prefers holding on to draft capital over big trades for stars. With the weak defensive tackle class this year, the Bengals swung hard, but the Chargers feel solid pairing veteran Daoven Tomlinson with Tier Tart, this offseason. The real ripple effect hits the Charger's draft plans for the interior offensive line. Lawrence draws constant double teams, so AFC North teams like the Ravens could jump early on guards to counter him. That puts the Charger's dream target, Olaiva Vega, Iowane, at risk of going as high as 10th to the Giants who need line help too. A run on guards like Chase by Santis, Emmanuel Pregnant, and Keelan Rutledge might hit early

1:02day 2, forcing the Chargers to grab one at 22nd, or wait. In the worst case, they pivot to best player available in round 1, but plenty of options remain to shore up that line before the weekend shakes out. Stay in form with California News today, AI-powered updates.
