    Ioane, Fano or trade down
    We all want a trade down but so do a lot of teams. I am not putting high odds on it

      Bisontis started 12 of 13 games at right tackle as a freshman. Could be a better tackle than Pipkins early.
      Interesting though Zuhn was the LT. Guessing Bisontis the much better interior run blocker? We know pass protection is Zuhns strength.

        In the pictures of Chargers OTAs, what are those sports bras they are wearing?

          They appear to be vests to hold biometric sensors, probably for heart rate and gps. They can measure acceleration and speed, and can help to moderate guys that are coming back from injury.

            Probably gives the strength and conditioning coaches a better understanding of who stayed in shape the last 4 months…

              My guess, there will be options as beauty will be in the eye of the beholder. Maybe some team likes Blake Miller over other OTs, same at WR. I think the Chargers will have a chance to do it.
              Now if they take Parker or Bisontis, I am good with those picks. Somebody like Woods or Proctor, don't see it. Even Faulk.

                On a side note regarding the photos mentioned above…did anyone else notice how massive Tuli has gotten since we drafted him? I believe he was one of the youngest guys drafted that year and apparently he wasn’t done growing, a lot of guys don’t get their man bodies and man strength until 24-28, my oldest brother was about 28 years old when he filled out his back got huge he went from weighing 165 pounds at 6’2” when he graduated HS to weighing about 195, his bone structure in his back and shoulders got big AFTER age 26-27…

                for me it happened earlier around 25 and my other brother stayed thin like in HS…

                  I agree, it’s probably why I’d take Bisontis at #22, in this draft people would be hard pressed to say it was a reach…there are probably 20 players in this draft all graded about the same from 20 through 40 in this draft…

                    Sticking and picking -- I agree about Bisontis. Like you state, grades are very subjective. If he is a plug n play OG from day 1, as many think he is -- that is a good, sound pick. I would rather have Bisontis over the potential of Faulk, Freeling, and Woods for instance.

                      Agreed.

                      Dane Brugler said most teams don't see huge difference players between 17-40

                      There is something to be said for just taking Bisontis, getting LG shored up, and quit fucking with Herbert's protection

                          think it was TJ Parker that made Zuhn look like tiddlywinks one play @the SB…. just stupid silly pixie stick stuff,
