Summary
The Los Angeles Chargers bolstered their secondary in the 2026 NFL draft by selecting safety Genesis Smith from the University of Arizona in the fourth round. Known for his range and coverage skills, Smith joins a safety group that includes All-Pro Derwin James Junior and veterans Elijah Molden and Tony Jefferson. Despite being a day-three pick, Smith is considered ready to compete for starting reps, but he must improve his tackling to earn significant playing time.
