Cornerback
The cornerback spot is on the list at this spot because this remains the one area of the team where the Chargers can go from an average defense to a superior one, and that is because of some of the pieces already in place in Casey Hayward and Derwin James.
With the hope that Nasir Adderley can become the star the team hoped he was when it drafted him in the second round last year, conventional thinking is that if the team can add another top-notch cornerback, the secondary could become almost impenetrable.
Michael Davis is set to become a free agent but the team should aim to have a better player than he or Brandon Facyson playing opposite Hayward in 2020.
Potential free-agent fixes: Chris Harris, Trae Waynes, Bashaud Breeland.
Fortunately for teams looking for a cornerback, the market is solid. Harris and Waynes are two players Telesco would have to open the pocketbook for in a big way, something he is normally against, but a guy like Harris would make the Chargers a scary team to face.
If Telesco wanted a cheaper option, Breeland could be that guy. He is about to play in a Super Bowl and could bring that experience over from a division rival.
Other big names on the open market include James Bradberry, Jimmy Smith, Logan Ryan, Bradley Roby, Byron Jones and Aqib Talib.
