The Los Angeles Chargers drafted Miami edge rusher Akheem Mesidor in the first round of the NFL draft, kicking off their trip to the event with some defensive help for new coordinator Chris O’Leary.

It’s a move that was a little polarizing for Chargers fans , to say the least.

On the pros side of things, Mesidor is an older prospect who could be around 30 when the Chargers weigh whether to pick up his fifth-year option. That means he’s more pro-ready than most prospects they could have selected, which is good for a win-now team that wants a boost right away.

On the cons side, Mesidor is an older prospect and he’s had some injuries in his past. It’s fair if some onlookers debate whether he was simply an older prospect feasting against younger competition and how it might translate.

One guy who might really like the Chargers’ taking Mesidor?

Maxx Crosby, of course.
