It’s been nearly half a decade since this happened but as of now, the Los Angeles Chargers are drafting in the playoff realm once again. Currently sitting with the 28th overall pick, Los Angeles is still in a prime spot to draft a top end starter that could make a lasting impact on their roster for years to come.
As things sit right now, the Chargers have four main needs for the long-term future; defensive line, linebacker, cornerback and free safety. With players such as Denzel Perryman, Trevor Williams, Jason Verrett and Jahleel Addae all potentially up for new contracts next season, the Chargers defense could be in for a major overhaul next draft season.
