3. San Diego Chargers: DeForest Buckner, DE, Oregon

The Chargers ranked 24th in sacks last season and a guy like Buckner could make all the difference in 2016.

Buckner is huge at 6’7″, 291 pounds, which is the perfect size for an NFL edge rusher. He recorded 10.5 sacks as a junior at Oregon and was constantly harassing opposing quarterbacks. Buckner is a high character guy and brings a ton of potential to the table. He has the power and quickness to be a constant menace of an effective edge rusher at the professional level and the Chargers would be crazy not to take him third overall.
