Solomon Thomas. 7. player. 13. . Defensive End. Stanford

The Los Angeles Chargers invested in their defensive line last year with Ohio State’s Joey Bosa in Round 1.

Now, they look to make their D-line a formidable force with the addition of Stanford DE Solomon Thomas.

This tandem would transform Los Angeles’ front-seven into the kind of defense capable of withstanding the tough competition on the table within the AFC West. Sure, the Chargers do have a number of other pressing needs, especially on offense. But Thomas is simply too good a player to pass up.
