    Then the depth ...
    Concerning OL, and depending on your opinion of how many good OTs you think there are in this years draft. If the team does pick an OT, will that player be as good as his contemporaries? And what if all the good OTs are gone when the Chargers pick at 17?

    Staley can move Feiler to RT, and Feiler has more track record there. Feiler was put at LG because the coaches didn't want Slater to be burdened. But Slater has shown that he can do fine. OG is what I am looking into too.

    Brenden Jaimes. Will he contend for one of the starting OG spots, or will he be like other O-linemen the team had who doesn't see the light of day? We could use a backup OC. Preferably one who can play both OC and OG, like Quessenberry who left.

    I'd rather draft a starter on O than a backup on defense... You don't draft a player in the 1st round to be a backup. Besides, Lombardi is not the greatest OC in the NFL our offense will be as good as his playcalling is and the O will need the boost.
    Aside from OL, the only other position on the offense you can argue is the third WR after KA and MW. Yeah we have Guyton and Palmer. But they need to be pushed. Another thing, this team doesn't have enough speed burners at the position, which is what has hindered the team in 2019 and 2021. People lamented at the loss of Tyron Johnson for a reason. And going 3 WRs is more common than it was in the past.

    Also, it's going to be too great a task to count on a rookie OT to protect Herbert, unless it's an OT who makes an immediate impact. I don't expect everyone to be like Slater, but it sure is nice you get one who you won't have to wait on to reach their potential.

      3rd and 4th WRs are starters in the last two minutes. WR at 17 would not suck. But agree that TT/Staley have set themselves up to draft BPA, not a bad thing at all.

        we are one GM away.... young John steered clear of the one decision that he coulda, woulda, shoulda made.... to bring TT in as VP of Football Ops.

        young John needs a new GM, and.... without knowing who is clearly the best candidate, will once again volunteer DJ, and.... still a fan of Joe Brady as HC.

        also gonna dredge up the idea of bringing John Dorsey aboard, to unAJ and unPolian team Tommy John.... if John don't, me thinx/suspex Dean will....

        sail could well be on the event horizon.... ?? ....just sayin'
        RT Taliese Fuaga, DT Jer'Zhan Newton, NT T'Vondre Sweat, LB Cedric Gray, TE Ben Sinnott, RB Daijun Edwards, FS Cole Bishop, QB Joe Milton

          Brady isnt ready to be a HC and got canned from his OC job rather quickly.

          Dorsey is ok, but still picked the wrong QB with his #1 pick. So, that is a loss there. We are better than the Browns
