The San Diego Chargers sent their fans home happy -- but it might cost them a blue-chip prospect.
They would now pick fourth in the 2016 NFL Draft after a win to close out their home schedule -- and perhaps, Qualcomm Stadium too.
The first five selections of the next college draft currently belong to:
1. Tennessee Titans: 3-11
2. Cleveland Browns: 3-11
3. San Diego Chargers: 4-10
4. Baltimore Ravens: 4-10
5. Dallas Cowboys: 4-10 Ohio State defensive end Joey Bosa or Mississippi left tackle Laremy Tunsil could now both be out of the Bolts' reach. Both are need areas heading into 2016.
Quarterback isn't a glaring one -- but maybe the Chargers consider a prospect like Memphis' Paxton Lynch to groom atop their draft board now.
