Chargers 2021 Draft Profile: DE Elerson Smith

The Chargers helped build up their depth at edge rusher late last month when they signed former Packers and Giants outside linebacker, Kyler Fackrell. That puts the team’s depth at the position now up to five bodies along with 2020 UDFAs, Joe Gaziano and Jessie Lemonier.

In my opinion, the team needs to invest even more at the position. The need isn’t up there with left tackle and cornerback, but at the latest the Bolts should use one of their two third-round picks on another quarterback chaser. If for whatever reason they decide to pass on edge through the first two days, there’s luckily a number of exciting sleepers who should be available later on.
