No love for the offensive line
Even after the additions of Bryan Bulaga and Trai Turner, drafting an offensive lineman was seen as a priority. However, the Chargers came away empty handed. Am I surprised? Not at all.
One of the bold predictions that made before the draft was that Los Angeles wasn’t going to select a single lineman. The main reason I believe that they held off was because of new offensive line coach James Campen.
During his time with the Packers, Campen turned a slew of mid-late round projects into Pro Bowl and All-Pro selections. This could lead to the possibility of them banking on his coaching to develop Trey Pipkins, Storm Norton, Forrest Lamp, Scott Quessenberry and Trent Scott.
There are some that are still wondering if the Bolts could dip into the free agency pool, but general manager Tom Telesco appears to be content with his in-house options.
Telesco reiterated that they like the options they have on the roster. He also said that the offense will be changing a little bit this season. By this, he means the scheme will revolve around a mobile quarterback, which would mask with pass or run-blocking deficiencies.
Nonetheless, let’s not disregard the idea of them still looking to sign a free agent like veteran Jason Peters. It’s still a possibility.
