While a disappointing loss to the Chiefs and a concerning rib injury to franchise QB Justin Herbert have Chargers fan blogs casting about for roster help, the team is not going to be adding quarterback talent in next year's draft. What they need instead is more speed and athletic talent on both sides of the ball as they continue building an elite roster. After three straight first-round picks devoted to the offense, the team would do well to invest in a defensive starter suited for holding back high-powered AFC West offenses.





Clemson's Trenton Simpson is widely viewed as one of the top two or three linebackers in this year's class. He is an outstanding pass rusher, capable in coverage and a solid sideline-to-sideline run defender. That all adds up to a big boost to the Chargers' ongoing defensive rebuild.

CHARGERS HISTORICAL DRAFT PICKS

Reach/Value (R/V) Explained
The difference between where a player is selected in the NFL draft versus where the player was listed on the final Drafttek Big Board for the season in question.
Example: A player who was listed at #50 on the Big Board and was selected at #35 will be a "Reach" of -15. Alternately, a player listed at #35 on the Big Board who was selected at #50 is a +15 "Value".

Simply put: a positive number is a Value pick, a negative number is a Reach.
