Quote:Why would the Chargers take a FS over their biggest need (OL) with an elite player available? Makes no sense. Especially when LT is a premium position and FS is not.

Because they have a solid OL if their all healthy. They need help on the interior. They have a good young RT and Dunlap is good when he's healthy. It's far from certain that they are ready to move on from him. They need playmakers on defense just like us.

 

It'd be like "Why would we pass on Tunsil at 5 if he's there, our offensive line gave up a lot of sacks and we just have average play from our LT."

 

It can honesty go both ways. Beachum is far from a certainty to go back to his normal self and Joeckel is just average at best and we may not be picking up his option. If Beachum falls flat on his face, whose our LT next year?
