As the 2024 NFL Draft approaches, the Los Angeles Chargers are focused on bolstering their offensive line to provide better protection for quarterback Justin Herbert. In the latest mock draft tracker, several experts have weighed in on who they believe the Chargers will select with the 5th overall pick.

According to Eric Edholm of NFL.com, the Chargers could add a big-play threat to their receiving corps by selecting wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. from Ohio State. Harrison Jr.'s ability to stretch defenses vertically and serve as a reliable target for Herbert would add a dynamic element to the Chargers' offense.

Dane Brugler of The Athletic suggests a trade scenario where the Chargers move down to the 11th overall pick with the Arizona Cardinals. In this scenario, the Chargers could target offensive tackle JC Latham from Alabama. Latham, known for his strength and recruitment history with head coach Jim Harbaugh, would provide stability to the offensive line and aid in the development of the Chargers' rushing attack.

CBS Sports analyst Josh Edwards also believes that Latham would be a suitable pick for the Chargers, projecting them to trade down to the 11th pick with the Minnesota Vikings. Edwards emphasizes the familiarity between Latham and Harbaugh, and the Chargers' need for a right tackle to complement standout left tackle Rashawn Slater.

The Ringer's Benjamin Solak reiterates the importance of addressing the offensive line, suggesting Latham as a strong choice for the Chargers. Solak highlights Latham's experience at right tackle, which aligns with the Chargers' positional needs.

Notre Dame offensive tackle Joe Alt is also considered a viable option for the Chargers. Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times believes that Alt's athleticism and versatility would suit the Chargers' scheme, potentially slotting him as the starting right tackle.

Other experts such as Chris Trapasso and Ari Meirov also mention Alt as a candidate, highlighting his fit with the Chargers' offensive line needs.

Overall, the consensus among draft experts is that the Chargers should prioritize strengthening their offensive line, particularly at right tackle. With the draft only days away, all eyes will be on the Chargers' front office and the decisions they make to bolster their lineup and provide better support for Herbert in the upcoming season.
