Ball-hawking safety a top need for Chargers in 2017

The Los Angeles Chargers have three players along the offensive line that will be 30 or older by the end of the 2017 season in center Matt Slauson, left tackle King Dunlap and left guard Orlando Franklin, so adding some young talent up front should be a priority this offseason.

While veteran Dwight Lowery was a solid contributor in 2016, the Chargers could use another playmaker in the back end defensively.

And at 35, Philip Rivers isn’t getting any younger, which means Chargers general manager Tom Telesco needs to surround his veteran quarterback with young playmakers to make his job easier.
