If you draft OG in the second or third you will find starting quality but if you draft WR TE or Edge in the second or third you likely are not going to get year one starters. BAA at 21.

He is a long-armed Gap/Power offensive guard from UCLA.
This guy would be a mid round value pick.
He could be an understudy to Feiler during the final year of Matt's contract.
Unfortunately Popper's Puppets on TPB say no, because that's supposed to be Salyer's spot.
Will Pipkens be resigned or should he be let go and a new RT drafted? Alot of meat on that bone to chew. However, if they are interested in Atonio Mafi, they may have interest in Salyer as the guard swingman. Again, I don't see an issue with that either if Kellen Moore feels play at the triangle positions are wanting. That is my speculation.
Here's a cool-story-bro, there's an old football coach/author I talk to in the mornings, and he told me 'Hey, I'm watching the Broncos game, and the general manager is one of the kids I coached: George Paton'.

2. What do the Bolts do with Salyer?
Slater's return to the starting lineup, of course, brings up the question of what to do with Salyer.
The rookie filled in admirably in Slater's spot, but there's no question about which player starts there in 2023.
So, what are the options with Salyer?
Pipkins is a free agent, so the Chargers could move him to right tackle if that starting spot opens up. They could also look at Salyer at left guard, a spot Feiler occupied but a place Salyer spent most of training camp and the preseason.
Or Salyer might not start at all and could be one of the league's best swing tackles going forward.
Chargers General Manager Tom Telesco was asked about Salyer at his year-end press conference.
"He saved us this year," Telesco said.
He later added: "Jamaree never flinched. He has great poise and balance, and patience at that position. I think a lot of that is because he played it a lot at the college level and played at a pretty high level. He played really efficient football for us at a critical position. As you move into next year, as good as Jamaree played, I feel pretty comfortable that Rashawn Slater will be our left tackle, but we'll figure out what the best role for Jamaree is. It's a negative when a player gets hurt. The one little positive is other players getting an opportunity and now, we know what he can do, rather than thinking he can do something. It will give us some flexibility. Do we see him at a guard or a tackle for next year? I don't know yet, to be honest with you. I'm not sure." - Eric Smith/Chargers.com

BPA at 21 might be a WR.
A lot depends on our choices in FA, cuts, renegotiating. Draft team and the board when we're on the clock.

If you get a WR in the first two rounds it's going to be hard for him to put one of the three of Allen Williams and Palmer on the bench but with the injuries Williams and Allen had plus Allen's age and contract we want to have the replacement on the team with time to develop them. Will annother Palmer or later round pick do? I'm not sure. If you just want a speed guy yes you can get competition for Guyton in the third or later but for a more complete WR you have to draft them early. With contracts going up for WRs the really good ones go fast...Go Rivers!

BTW, the recievers in this draft are not as good as in the last 4-5 years, complete wr? Who qualifies this year? Maybe one of the 4.5 guys but then you are back to having a bunch of 4.5 guys…"The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.
