Chargers can’t settle for good, not great on defense

The Chargers defense is jam-packed with talent, thanks in large part to Tom Telesco’s ability to find gems in all rounds of the draft or at various free agent prices. In the draft, the general manager has found a Defensive Player of the Year candidate in the first round and an All-Pro slot corner in the fifth round. In free agency, he’s retained Melvin Ingram with a $65 million contract and found some guy named Casey Hayward for $15 million. He’s capable of finding talent on defense wherever necessary, and on a regular basis.
