The Chargers' proposed trade sends the former No. 2 pick to Jim Harbaugh

Time is running out, the countdown to the NFL trade deadline is getting closer. The Los Angeles Chargers have been one of the teams at the center of every potential trade discussed in recent weeks.

One of the latest trade proposals would have the team bring in a former No. 2 overall pick in the NFL Draft who plays a position the Chargers would like to add depth to this season.

33rd Team's Tyler Brooke recently broke down the best landing spots for edge rusher Chase Young. Young's time in New Orleans is likely to be short-lived as the 2020 Defensive Rookie of the Year has his sights set on playing with a contender. One possible landing spot could be Jim Harbaugh.

Regarding a possible trade between Young and the Chargers, Brooke had this to say: “What would be more fitting than Young going to the Los Angeles Chargers to play with Jim Harbaugh, the head coach of his former college rival? The Chargers already have legendary pass rushers like Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa, but the team as a whole still fails to get the job done. They currently rank 28th in pass rush win percentage and are in the middle of the pack with 18 sacks this year.

Young played three seasons in which he earned 7.5. This season, the former Ohio State star has two sacks with 12 hits on the quarterback. Adding Young would add great depth to the Chargers, especially as the franchise competes for a postseason berth.
