Forget the Guard Talk, Why the Chargers NEED to Draft An Edge Rusher at Pick 22

from Bleav in Chargers · host Bleav

The Chargers had $100 million to spend in free agency and still have $48 million left — so what's the plan? Matt "Money" Smith and Lorenzo Neal break it all down on this week's Bleav in Chargers. They cover every key Chargers free agency move including the Tyler Biadasz signing at center, Charlie Kolar at tight end, Alec Ingold at fullback, and Khalil Mack's return, why fans frustrated about the guard position need to trust the process, what the Chargers are actually signaling with their spending priorities, and why edge rusher — not guard — should be the pick at 22 in the draft. They also tease a massive special guest coming Monday. Subscribe to Bleav in Chargers on Apple Podcasts. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Matt "Money" Smith and Lorenzo Neal open the episode with a fun hypothetical about which current Charger Lo would want to line up against at training camp, leading into a breakdown of blocking techniques and a discussion of Reuben Bain's draft stock. The bulk of the episode is a defense of the Chargers' quiet free agency, with Matt and Lo arguing the front office was intentional — protecting compensatory picks and prioritizing the center (Tyler Biadasz), blocking tight end (Charlie Kolar), fullback (Alec Ingold), and Khalil Mack's return over splashy guard signings. On the draft, they make the case that edge rusher is the true priority at pick 22, with Khalil Mack aging and the team needing pass rush depth, while also floating interior D-line, safety McNeil Warren, and tight end Kenyan Siddiq as possibilities. The show wraps with quick takes on Tua Tagovailoa signing with Atlanta and Ty Simpson's QB prospects, before teasing a major Chargers legend guest for next week.
