    Why No DL or OL picked?

    Not a single fat man in this draft. Am I the only person who finds this odd? I know it's cliche, but the game is won or lost in trenches, and it's not like the Chargers have been dominant there. Given Telesco's poor luck drafting OL, I wonder if he's gun shy about investing draft capital in OL now, preferring to build thru FA and trades.

    Maybe TT just told the offensive coaches to piss off, "you will get more linemen when you develop the ones we have like Lamp and Feeney".

        Not that we're down playing Lineman but all the good ones we're probably taken in the first two rounds. What we drafted we're players than can contribute day 1 and don't need two years to get going. I'm sure we are going to pick up a few in UDFA!

            We have Campen. Also have mobility at qb now. Let's roll

              Yeah, probably didn't like the options available after the third round. And maybe they have targeted some UDFAs. I'm not unhappy with this draft at all, I am still frustrated though at the continued neglect of DL and OL.

                Lynn has a part in it too, and you know what a lame coach he is. He's going to hold on to the likes of Scott and Tevi. They wouldn't hang on other team's rosters.

                  We still have a first rounder from last year that hasn't shown up yet and we still have o lineman from previous drafts that haven't shown up yet.

                    I think it takes a lot of optimism to be excited about our LT position. Maybe Pipkins will surprise but he is still from a small school and it takes a little leap of faith. I hate these picks where they see something everyone else hasn't. Chris Watt and Max Tuerck also come to mind. Both are out of football now.

                    Even more troubling than that though is they have a scrub as a backup in Trent Scott. We already know he can't play. They have done so well to address almost every other position you have to wonder what they are thinking at the LT spot.

                      I suppose that's why they traded for Trai Turner and got Bulaga. They were hedging their bets so they didn't have to draft OL if they didn't need to. There may be another FA OL pickup after the draft.
