""The edge room, you're always looking to add in. I think the draft is really deep with edges, and there's some guys out there on the street that might be available after the draft," Hortiz said last week."
"With standout pass rusher Tuli Tuipulotu entering the final year of his rookie contract and veteran Khalil Mack taking it year-by-year on his future, Hortiz probably can't afford to pass up on an edge rusher in the first round - unless there's an offensive lineman higher on his draft board."
Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz is focused on selecting the best player available with the No. 22 pick in the 2026 NFL draft. The team has a significant need for a pass rusher, especially after the trade of Odafe Oweh. Several high-potential edge rushers are expected to be available, including Rueben Bain Jr. and Akheem Mesidor. The offensive line also remains a concern, particularly after struggles in 2025, making it a potential focus for the draft.
