Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers looked capable of hanging with just about anyone at full strength last season. The problem was that was seldom the case — especially on the offensive side of the ball. Losing stud tackles Joe Alt (6 games played) and Rashawn Slater (0) for the majority of the season helped result in the Chargers earning PFF's second-lowest team pass-blocking grade … and the lowest run-blocking mark.

The good news: Literally nobody has more effective cap space than the Chargers ahead of free agency, and they're also equipped with ample early-round ammo with the No. 22, No. 55 and No. 86 picks. It's a good thing too, because there are several position groups that badly need to be addressed in the coming months.

Defensive Line: The Chargers boast the cheapest front seven in the NFL by nearly $10 million entering 2026. It's probably time for the front office to spend a top-50 draft pick on the group for the first time since 2020.

Interior Offensive Line: The interior of the offensive line is the priority, and why not? PFF didn't grade a single Charger inside their top-85 guards and centers among 128 qualified interior offensive linemen last season.

Cornerback: The Chargers allowed the fifth-fewest passing yards and lowest overall passer rating, but that doesn't mean some extra help in the back end couldn't take this group from great to elite.
