I agree with you but I think the Fluker pick was more of a desperation necessity. He was basically the only OT left in the first round, there was a huge run before our pick.
In the end, I think it was a bad eval. TT must have seen something that made him think Fluker was a RT.
I saw Fluker get abused by a mid-round DE from Western Kentucky... that made me think... OG-only.
I think TT did the same thing with Tillery. He saw Tillery's game against Stanford... and ignored the rest.
That's what I mean by obsession... he saw something he liked and ignored the rest.

I'm sure the O-line will look really different by 2026, but due to the cap stuff and other glaring holes on this roster, I wonder if they might not just decide to coach the guys they have up and add maybe a vet here and a mid to late round pick there, but the draft is loaded with tackles at the top, so I can see how they might be tempted grab one of those guys...
His last year @SF, he lost Anthony Davis... and the team went 8-8. Jim had brought Johnathan Martin from Miami (also Stanford).
Now, I doubt the whole drop-off can be attributed to Anthony Davis' departure.
But I'm sure there was something to be learned there.
After all we know (and hear) from Harbaugh and Horitz... OT has to be a consideration @#5 if we can't trade back.
The coaching will be better (no doubt)... but good players are also important. Trey Pipkins is not a good player.

I've been advocating for OL high in the draft for years, but this year it seems like a luxury because we already have two OTs locked up...that being said, this class features some fantastic prospects at OT and that cannot be overlooked, sometimes you just have to take the BPA because they are too good to pass up even if the team has other needs...I could never be upset about the Chargers taking OL high in the draft unless the prospect is garbage or comes from Alabama, the tide cannot seem to put out good NFL OL despite getting some of the best recruits in the nation...
def think there are close to a handful of the RTs that are less than certain as value picks thru round 2.... buyer beware/proceed w/caution @RT, me thinx ??5/11 Fuaga, 37 Kamari Lassiter, 40 Sinnott, 67 Bralen Trice, 69 Cedric Gray, 105 Jaylen Wright, 110 Braelon Allen, 140 Joe Milton, 181 Khristian Boyd, Tylan Grable, 225 Daijun Edwards, 253 Miyan Williams

We'll know more after the Scouting Combine, but if the medical professionals determine that Laiatu Latu has no issues with his neck, I see no reason for him to not be in consideration for the fifth overall pick. A 6-5, 267-pound pass-rusher who had 10.5 sacks and 12.5 tackles for loss in 2022 and 13 sacks and 21.5 tackles for loss last season. Five forced fumbles over the last two seasons. I wouldn't be surprised to watch him fall out of the top ten and become the next DeMarcus Ware (drafted 11th overall in 2005) after the mock draft nerds determined that he wasn't worth the fifth overall pick.

as for pipkins, keep your fingers crossed and maybe TT will eat some of his salary and trade for him, LV needs a RT..."The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.
