The Los Angeles Chargers are paying attention. That much fans can take comfort in after the globe just watched Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs get pulverized in the Super Bowl at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Buchanan, who is 6-foot-2, 235 pounds would serve more as a special teams role for the Chargers. Linebacker Troy Dye, who is entering free agency, played the most special teams plays last season. If Los Angeles is unable to sign a key production factor, Buchanan offers great one-on-one tackling, range and a ball seeker.

NFL Media’s Chad Reuter released his latest three-round mock draft. In it, he sees the Chargers addressing the defensive side of the ball in the first two rounds and the interior part of the offensive line in Round 3. With their first-round selection, Los Angeles selects former Georgia safety Malaki Starks.

One year ago, the Los Angeles Chargers got aggressive in the NFL draft and traded up for a player in Ladd McConkey who blossomed into a star right away. In hindsight, the trade with the New England Patriots looks like a massive ripoff when considering all the moving parts.

The Indianapolis Colts face a make-or-break offseason coming off their fourth consecutive campaign without a playoff berth. General manager Chris Ballard was granted a final chance to prove he's still the man for the job entering his ninth season.

While free agency is ahead, the NFL draft isn't far behind, and Chris Ballard must hit on his picks to help steer the franchise in the right direction after a mediocre conclusion to the 2024 campaign.
