The Los Angeles Chargers keep on losing.

While that is sinking any chances of a return to the playoffs, the mounting losses have the Chargers in control of the race for the No. 1 pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.

Los Angeles fell to 0-8 on the season Sunday with a loss to the Houston Texans, dropping the Chargers seven games behind the Denver Broncos in the win column in the AFC West, and putting the entire coaching staff squarely on the hot seat. While reports out of Los Angeles indicate that the team will not be trading stars such as Khalil Mack or Justin Herbert ahead of Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline, one could certainly believe changes are coming.

As things stand in the 2027 NFL Draft the Chargers would have the first pick, followed by the Tennessee Titans, the Miami Dolphins, and the New York Jets. The Jets currently control three picks inside the top 15: The Indianapolis Colts’ selection at No. 4, their own selection at No. 6, and the Dallas Cowboys’ selection at No. 13.

Here is how the first round of the 2027 NFL Draft currently stands as Week 9 draws to a close with Monday night’s big game between the Buffalo Bills and the Minnesota Vikings:
