BIG MOVE: Chargers Should TRADE for Dexter Lawrence to Add A Needle Mover on Defense  
Podcast: Locked On Chargers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Chargers
Published On: Tue Apr 07 2026
Description: Los Angeles Chargers emerge as top contenders to land All-Pro defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence after his official trade request. Could Jim Harbaugh talk his brother into a blockbuster deal that transforms the Chargers’ defensive front and Super Bowl hopes? Hosts Daniel Wade and David Droegemeier dissect the implications, debating the cost—possibly the 22nd overall pick—and the roster impact of pairing Lawrence with stars like Khalil Mack and Tuli Tuipulotu. The conversation expands to other trade possibilities, including targeting Giants edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux and discussing whether either Harbaugh brother will pull the trigger before the NFL Draft. Additional highlights include the Chargers’ limited draft capital, key roster needs at guard, edge, and cornerback, and the strategic decision of trading future picks versus building for long-term success. With player extension rumors swirling around Derwin James and Tuli Tuipulotu, and speculation about quarterback-hungry teams trading up, every angle of the Chargers’ offseason rebuild gets the spotlight.
