Forrest Lamp to the Buffalo Bills - one year deal
I thought that was an excellent pick at the time
Health was a big factor but he also just wasn't good this past year

I still think Lamp was a great pick. If I was the GM, I'd have kept him one more year - maybe this is the year that knee is all the way back to 100%. If not, cut him next time.

There are 5 (possibly 6) OT's that would be worthy of the #13 in any other draft. I don't think we need to trade up. Will #13 be as good as Sewell...? Probably not. But will #13 be good enough to protect JH for years to come and put us into the playoffs. I'm pretty sure.

Keep the picks. Get a great LT with #13. Keep building. Build until your talent and depth make you better than the teams around you.

Although the tackle class is talented and deep, "He who hesitates is lost". If we don't snag them, others will. Lot's of OT hungry teams right behind us in this year's draft.

This is probably the most common sense post on this subject. Better than any of mine.

Boltnut has the right idea, as much as I want Sewell, I know this is the right way to look at it.

Come on man ! Even wu admited Lamp is a bust.

We all loved 2nd and 3rd round picks that year, we all have been mistaken.

We still need back-ups. Who do we have now for back-ups at Guard?

Prefer to sign backups during 2nd wave of FA or draft for development than invest in things (DF, FL) that have not worked out for us.

Preach!!

I agree about the comparison to Sewell. Probably not as good as Sewell but if you add a solid CB in R2 plus another player - -that probably makes the entire team better. The Chargers like you said need depth and talent compared to the rest of the teams in the AFCWest and AFC. They are not Penei Sewell or even Rayshawn Slater away. Chargers have 5 picks in four rounds and Telesco needs to nail them.

I get it easier for Telesco to trade a bunch of draft capital - make it look like he is "aggressive" getting Penei Sewell but to me - thats taking the easy way out.

Free agency can be the bridge to your core roster while drafted players adapt, gain the skill required, if all aspects equally efficient. Fact, as of yet, no significant LT are currently on this roster, forces a move to take one with the first pick.

Qberry, St. Louis, Hunter, Gilliam.
We will draft at least 1 IOL plus UDFA

I think they need to draft three actually but one in round 1 or 2 and the second by round 4 would work for me
and yes, hit the UDFA market hard

In other words, guys who were back ups to the guys we let go

I do think Telesco has to bring in one more veteran post draft for depth at worst. Earl Watford is still out there. Can't be worse than some of the names listed

Maybe Staley & Staff can coach them up better than Lynn's crew...
