Los Angeles Chargers

It's too early for the Chargers to dream about Joey Bosa, unless it isn't

As it currently stands, the Chargers would pick fourth in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Even that might not be high enough for a shot at Ohio State star Joey Bosa. But it won't stop San Diegans from dreaming about the pass-rusher on their hole-filled defense.

Bosa would give the Bolts a pass-rushing charge they haven't had since Shawne Merriman's heyday. Just look at how he toys with college linemen:

Unlike most other top-five picking teams, the Chargers won't enter the draft with a need at quarterback. A Bosa selection would satisfy every general manager's dream -- he'd be the best player available at No. 4, no doubt.

Bosa (four sacks, 15 tackles for loss) would need to declare after his junior season. He'd also need to find a home in San Diego's 3-4 defense if the current staff sticks around.

None of that ought to matter. Bosa is a beast and this Chargers team needs a few more of those.
