The Chargers’ March has made it obvious that roster maintenance is not limited to one side of the ball. Los Angeles added Tyler Biadasz and Trevor Penning up front, brought Trey Lance back into the quarterback room, and has continued sorting through broader depth needs, which leaves room for another perimeter coverage addition. Hood fits as a long, competitive boundary corner who can challenge vertically and develop into real outside depth.
