Chargers Focus on Guard Upgrades, Eyeing Draft for O-Line Boost

0:00For the NFL, it's March 18th, and here's what's going on. The Los Angeles Chargers are one week into the New League year, and focusing on upgrades, especially at guard. They lost both starting guards from last season, releasing one and seeing the other sign with the Browns. To start rebuilding, they've added Cole Strange, who handled right guard duties last year, and brought back Trevor Penning as a versatile option. Meanwhile, the team knows depth remains a concern there. Losers expect more moves to spark competition along the interior line. Last season's offensive line took hits mainly from injuries to tackles Rashan Slater and Joe Alt. With both healthy and returning, the edges should hold strong, but the middle still needs bolstering. Analysts point to the draft as a key path forward, possibly using a high pick on fresh talent. This comes as the Chargers aim to solidify protection around quarterback Justin Herbert. These are buzzing about potential targets, debating free agents and rookies who could lock down the unit for years.
