The Chargers have one of the top edge defenders in this year’s draft class on their radar, as they are set to host Alabama’s Dallas Turner on a visit, according to NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero.
Turner had a successful career with the Crimson Tide, recording 117 tackles, 21.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles in three seasons.
It’s rare for a player to possess the combination of explosiveness, bend, pursuit speed, and length that Turner has.
Los Angeles doesn’t have a glaring need at the position after keeping Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa, but in a pass-happy league, you can never have too many pass rushers.
Turner, who projects as a top-15 selection, could be a potential option in a trade-down scenario.
