The Chargers selected Kyle Kennard, the Southeastern Conference defensive player of the year, as the 125th pick in the NFL draft to enhance their edge rusher group. After a standout season at South Carolina where he recorded 11½ tackles for loss and sacks, Kennard represents a youthful addition following the departure of long-time player Joey Bosa. Despite re-signing Khalil Mack, both he and Bud Dupree are nearing the end of their careers, making Kennard's selection timely. Third-year player Tuli Tuipulotu is expected to flourish alongside Kennard as the team transitions.
