General Manager Tom Telesco left the 2018 Draft with a strong class of players who should each make an immediate impact this season. The Los Angeles Chargers entered the 2018 Draft with a clear plan. To build their already stout defense and add depth to their Philip Rivers-led offense in the later rounds.
General manager Tom Telesco’s plan makes perfect sense. Los Angeles featured a strong defense last season. While it may not have been at the elite level of Jacksonville or Philadelphia, the Chargers won a handful of games on the strength of their defense alone.
Offensively, the Chargers have the weapons to succeed. Melvin Gordon is a solid running back who was top ten in both yards and touchdowns last season. Rivers has continued to be stellar, and has an offensive line in front of him which allowed the fewest sacks in 2017. It’s impossible to forget about Keenan Allen and Hunter Henry on the outside as well.
Still, there were a handful of problems on both sides of the ball that were directly addressed
