Mike Silver- there is "some sense" the Chargers will select Ronnie Stanley at 3

#30

Quote:On the teams that won Super Bowls with the Mannings, Brees, Roethlisberger, Rodgers, Flacco, those teams didn't draft a top 5 OT. They had OT's drafted in the teens and later.
 

   It's a good point.

 

  On the other hand,  Offensive Tackle play cost the Patriots a chance at getting back to the Super Bowl this past season.

 

  Though a team can win with a LT/ blindside Tackle who isn't taken in the top 5 picks,   your chances of winning a Super Bowl are much greater when you have good pass blocking on the edge.   Not to mention there's a greater chance your QB will stay off the injury report or worse. 

 

   Assuming the Chargers don't draft an Offensive Tackle with the pick # 3 draft resource,  they probably won't get a better option this year than what's already on their roster.    For a team that finished 31st in rushing in 2015  ( granted, injuries on the Offensive Line contributed to this but that's only part of the story ),  they need a much better combination of balance and protection.  If they don't get this,  it's a matter of time before Philip Rivers is sidelined with a significant injury.    With a golden opportunity to get a long term solution at LT,   I believe the Chargers would be making a major mistake if they don't address that position with the pick # 3 draft resource.
