It's April 24th. This is NFL News Today, your AI-powered source for everything in NFL. The charges grabbed Miami-Ed Russia Akim Mesidor at Pick 22 in the first round, a solid move to boost their pass rush behind Khalil Mack. He's got some debate around his game, but most see it as a win for a defense needing that extra juice. Chargers, GM, Jill Hortes, shut down the heavy trade rumors right after the round, saying they had plenty of calls, but no real offers on the table. He's been wheeling and dealing in drafts since he got here, like that smart swap that landed them wide out lad McConkey last year. Fans were buzzing about a big move, because the team only had five picks to start, and now just four left to fix depth issues everywhere on the roster. That slim pick sheet had everyone thinking trades were coming to stock up. Turns out, the real chatter is swirling around their day two selections, more than the first round stuff. Don't be shocked if they slide back from 55 in the second round.

Hortes has a knack for those kinds of deals. His track record speaks volumes from nailing trades to unearthing late round gyms like corner cam heart, so whatever shake-up happens next could pay. Off big for the long haul.
