Chargers select Ohio State receiver in latest two-round mock draft

The Los Angeles Chargers are projected to select Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith with the No. 1 overall pick in Sports Illustrated's latest two-round mock draft for 2027. Smith, who has recorded 984 yards and 12 touchdowns this season, is seen as a critical addition to bolster quarterback Justin Herbert's offensive options. In the second round, the Chargers are expected to address their offensive line by picking Notre Dame guard Anthonie Knapp, who has proven effective at left guard. Issues with injuries among current players have necessitated this focus on upgrading the roster.
