Chargers looking to draft a kicker instead of adding one through free agency?

The Chargers need to find a kicker. Badly. It’s one of Los Angeles’ top positional needs heading into the offseason.

The Chargers finished dead last in field-goal percentage (66.7) in 2017. They also hit just 37-of-42 extra points, the third-worst mark in the league. They signed former 2016 second-round pick Robert Aguayo to a reserve/futures contract. Aguayo, 23, flamed out with the Buccaneers after just one season. He did not attempt a single kick in 2017 but will look to revive his career. Nick Rose, another 23-year-old who was claimed off waivers from the Redskins this past season, is also on the roster.
