Chargers Draft: Shoring Up Interior Line & Pass Rush

0:00On March 30th, the chargers are heading into the NFL draft with some clear gaps on the roster after free agency wrapped up. Their top needs hit right guard, left guard, and defensive tackle according to ESPN's Chris Rim. That interior offensive line has been a weak spot for two straight seasons, and they're counting on the draft to short up. They lost center Bradley Boseman to retirement, released right guard Mecky Beckton, and saw left guard Zion Johnson walk in free agency. Los Angeles plugs some holes by signing ex-commander center Tyler Biotis and grabbing Cole Strange from Miami on a two-year deal. He's the early. Pick for right guard starter. They also brought back Trevor Penning as the likely left guard, but his spots wide open for challengers. Fans and analysts are buzzing about how these moves shake out, especially with Strange's pass blocking, ranking 40th out of 65 guards last. The defensive tackle crew looks decent up front with Tier Tart, but they need more juice on the pass rush from that group to make defensive sweat.

1:03ESPN's Jordan Farmer is pushing for Kentucky guard Jalen Farmer and rounds after the first, who are second-stickly second monks of power and balance that could lock. Down a starting gig right away. Beyond the line, the bolts could use help at Ed rusher, cornerback, safety, and a legit ex-receiver to stretch the field. With the draft on deck, expect Los Angeles to target competition and depth where it hurts most, turning those question marks into strengths for the long haul.
