We need fatties.
Why No DL or OL picked?

TT’s been drafting fatties heavy the past few drafts. Plus he just dropped $$$$ on two top trenchers and traded for another. And he paid even more $$$$ in the last few years for FA fatties. An all skill guy draft was due, and perfect timing for it (Hill in the 7th?? WTF?!).

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.
Traded for Turner-OG
Signed Bulaga-OT
Signed Joseph-DT
And they do have young prospects 1st rd pick & 3rd rd pick from last years drafts Tillery and Pipkins.
So they have been making moves to upgrade those units.
QB
WR
RB
LB
Were important position to address.
They had to replace 3 starters.
Rivers QB
Gordon RB
Davis LB
And they really needed depth at WR.
Who has it better than us?

And if anyone has a right to whine and snivel,
I should be at the top of the list.

Chargers Wire’s Gavino Borquez breaks down his thoughts on the Los Angeles Chargers’ haul from the 2020 NFL Draft.
Interesting...
Even after the additions of Bryan Bulaga and Trai Turner, drafting an offensive lineman was seen as a priority. However, the Chargers came away empty handed. Am I surprised? Not at all.
One of the bold predictions that made before the draft was that Los Angeles wasn’t going to select a single lineman. The main reason I believe that they held off was because of new offensive line coach James Campen.
During his time with the Packers, Campen turned a slew of mid-late round projects into Pro Bowl and All-Pro selections. This could lead to the possibility of them banking on his coaching to develop Trey Pipkins, Storm Norton, Forrest Lamp, Scott Quessenberry and Trent Scott.
There are some that are still wondering if the Bolts could dip into the free agency pool, but general manager Tom Telesco appears to be content with his in-house options.
Telesco reiterated that they like the options they have on the roster. He also said that the offense will be changing a little bit this season. By this, he means the scheme will revolve around a mobile quarterback, which would mask with pass or run-blocking deficiencies.
Nonetheless, let’s not disregard the idea of them still looking to sign a free agent like veteran Jason Peters. It’s still a possibility.

Additionally, our mobile QBs
and our new Pistol-RPO offense,
just announced yesterday by AL,
changes the entire complexion
of our Oline situation.

I kind of like our DL depth right now. As for OL, the scrubs we have on the team are just as good as the scrubs available day 3. So why waste the draft pick? We were already down two position players in the draft.Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
The Wasted Decade is done.
Build Back Better.
