The Los Angeles Chargers kicked off the 2026 NFL draft by selecting Miami edge rusher Akheem Mesidor at pick number 22 in the first round, addressing their biggest hole up front after losing Odafe Oweh to free agency. With one glaring need left - a starting guard - the Chargers prioritized Mesidor over waiting, knowing day two would offer solid guard options. General manager Joe Hortizs strategy is being praised, as skipping a guard at 22 keeps elite edge rushers in play and avoids a thinner board by their second-round pick. The Chargers are eyeing top interior linemen like Chase Bisontis, Emmanuel Pregnon, and Gennings Dunker to lock down the guard spot right away, potentially pivoting to defensive backs or adding trench beef in round three.
