18. Los Angeles Chargers


It’s been an offseason of overhauling up front for the Chargers, and it appears they’re on the right track after years of trotting out subpar offensive lines. Four-fifths of the line features new starters, starting with rookie left tackle Rashawn Slater. He allowed just five pressures on 355 attempts in 2019 and moves like a tight end when getting to the second level in the run game. At right tackle, Bryan Bulaga returns after being limited to just 444 snaps last year in his first season with the Chargers. When healthy, Bulaga has graded out at 75.0 or better in his past three full seasons. But the major question is that health, as those seasons were 2016, 2018 and 2019.

The Chargers snagged another former Packer in Corey Linsley, the top center on the PFF free agent board. Linsley is coming off a career-high 86.4 overall grade, which he earned after surrendering only seven pressures on 530 pass-blocking snaps. He’s produced grades of 75.0 or better in all but one of his seven NFL seasons.

Both of Los Angeles' starting guards, Matt Feiler and Oday Aboushi, also came over in free agency. Feiler has yet to grade below 65.0 overall in his four-year career, and that’s while lining up at both guard and tackle. Aboushi is coming off his best grade since 2014, as he finished with a 66.6 mark in 2020, tied for 27th among guards. That’s the kind of solid, yet unspectacular, play the Chargers need if they’re going to rise out of the bottom five of offensive lines around the league.

Among the backups, rookie fifth-rounder Brenden Jaimes is the one to watch — he was one of the better pass protectors in the draft class but has some work to do in the run game.

The Chargers are making all the right moves on paper, and their offensive line should be one of the most improved units in the NFL.

Hopefully TT sees that as a start and not the finish.

Only three 2021 first-rounders remain unsigned: Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (No. 2 overall), 49ers QB Trey Lance (No. 3) and Chargers offensive tackle Rashawn Slater (No. 13).

I know it will get done, but why is it always the Chargers who have so much trouble signing rookies?

Hard to explain. #2 and 3 not being signed makes sense. Lance is probably waiting for Wilson. #13 is a head scratcher. Most of the numbers are out there already.

Contract #’s are set before the draft. It is all in the contract language. With that said, we seem to have a history with leaving things undone until it drives us fans crazy. I said it would be today but doesn’t look like it.

Its not the last minute yet. Or a little past it to show you're really serious.

Hopefully this is not another Bosa contract debacle in the making.

None of it makes sense. Their contacts are already decided. Why would Lance need to wait on Wilson?
