While edge rusher is a draft need for the LA Chargers, it should not be a first-round need in the 2021 NFL Draft.

The LA Chargers have a lot of things to fix for next season, starting with the coaching staff and trickling down to several areas of the roster. Most notably, the team needs a better defense next season if they want any chance of contending for the NFL Playoffs.
