The Los Angeles Chargers are set for the 2026 NFL draft. One analyst has the team drafting an edge rusher with their first round pick.

ESPN NFL draft analyst Matt Miller predicts the Chargers to take Texas A&M edge rusher Cashius Howell with the selection. He writes the following of the pick.

"The loss of Odafe Oweh in free agency opens the door for a speed rusher in Round 1. Howell led the SEC with 11.5 sacks and added 40 pressures. The 6-foot-3 edge doesn't have ideal NFL length with 30¼-inch arms but is a blur off the line of scrimmage, and he consistently wins with burst and a low center of gravity. Howell can learn from Khalil Mack for a season while working in sub-package roles."
