    alot depends on FA.... and who is available when we draft?...... Chargers have needs at almost EVERY position so BPA is the way to go...... no reaching for OL(who can't cut it) just because we have needs.....

    look for vets past their prime who will take less to work with Staley to regain their form/brand.
    The draft will be offense heavy and Lombardi will be tasked with simply improving the offense with hopefully 2 new starters on the OL one being a FA (Trent Williams) and the other a rookie (Slater), along with rookie depth to compete with Feeney and Tevi or whoever we resign.
    OC Joe Lombardi & OL coach Frank Smith have strong Saints roots where the OL starters are all 1st - 3rd rd Saints draft picks. That didn't happen in 1 season. I'm guessing that they will be inclined to want to see what they can do with Chargers current 2nd-3rd rd picks, Lamp, Feeney, Pipkins and that we will add a 1st rd OT.
    That won't be all but the top OT is an absolute need. Fortunately there will be top 3 quality available at 13 in this QB heavy draft.

    It takes a solid OT.
    I think the Chargers need 4 new starters - Bulaga is locked in. I will take better over last year any of the positions

    But yes, there is no doubt that LT is the number 1 priority for Tom Telesco this offseason. No doubt. In fact - there is not a second or third priority when compared to LT!

    0 was not a choice

    EDIT: I misread the poll. I thought it said how many Oline WILL the Chargers draft

I get its one metric but if you can say release Turner, bring in Feliciano and Blythe and not bring back Feeney - that might be better depth. I think Lamp will be cheaper than Feeney and Tevi did show something - so today, I am probably bringing back Tevi and if truly for depth - well Lamp.
    Sounds like a plan...

    Release Turner and sign a better long term player

    I am also okay bringing back Tevi and Lamp or Feeney for depth

    Round 1 - OT
    Round 2 or 3 - Best of OT or IOL
    Round 5 or 6 - A developmental OT, or a steal

    And sign a FA O-lineman without an injury history...

    Agree. Just watched Chargers weekly when Chris Hayre and Jeff Duncan (Saints writer) talked about Joe Lombardi. They talked about the Saints offense changing throughout the years depending on personnel. From pass heavy with meachem, etc., then TE focused with Jimmy G. now with Kamara. Jeff said what didn’t change was the Saints investing their 1st and 2nd on OL. Hopefully Joe carries it over to this year’s draft.
