Zion and slater are two of the cleanest 1st round picks I’ve ever seen the chargers make…

Originally posted by UglyTruth View PostNot thrilled with hearing Trey Pipkins and Storm Norton are our only options at RT (again). Really hope they drafted someone better than either guy. It shouldn’t be too hard to find someone better even in later rounds of this draft.
Both Pipkins and Norton would have trouble finding a job with any other team if the Chargers cut them, they are that bad imo.

I didn't get that they were the only options, just that they are the only options right NOW. You can only draft players 1 at a time, so the fact that we haven't drafted an OT YET is all TT is necessarily saying.
That being said, our depth in the secondary is as thin or thinner than the OL right now.

Stat to Know: Johnson’s 2021 Blown Block rate of 0.3% was the lowest for any NCAA offensive lineman, regardless of position. Over three seasons at Boston College, he allowed just three sacks, nine quarterback hits, and 24 quarterback hurries on 1,074 pass-blocking snaps.

We do have the Clapp to go with Jaimes for IOL depth. I mean I would love to bring Aboushi back too but I don’t think it happens unless the plan is to carry 10 OL.
Guys like Clapp and Aboushi, you can let them compete for a roster spot. Just because you signed them as FA, doesn't mean they are going to be on the day 1 roster.

Originally posted by Bearded14YourPleasure View PostLove the pick. One of the highest floor players in the entire draft. Protect Herbert for years.
In regards to Feiler staying at LG and Zion at RG, Norton was bad but what a lot of us haven’t talked about is that Schofield was just as bad at RG. Feiler-Linsley-Zion will keep the interior of the pocket together and giver Herbert the option to actually step up into the pocket which often wasn’t an option with Schofield in. Zion is also a high processor and will be much more adept at dealing with the stunts a lot of teams threw at our right side last year. Yes, RT is still a worrisome position but having significantly better play at RG will be helpful to whoever is at RT, as we saw when Aboushi was in there.

Originally posted by SK21209 View PostInteresting that Telesco sees him at RG with Feiler staying at LG. We probably take a RT at 79 and see how it goes starting two rookies on the right side in training camp.

If the interior is solid the OT can concentrate more on outside moves. Below average guard and below average tackle spells disaster.

we will have far fewer jailbreaks than we have had before..... especially prior to Slater or when Rivers was QB....
