But guards don't have to be that tall. Especially if they're busy pancaking their man on run plays. My point was Merrill could be someone that makes the transition from defensive to offensive line just like Dielman. I mean I hope the Chargers at least explore the possibility since they are kind of light in o-line depth at this time.

Dielman had played some TE. Point being he had movement skills. Merrill is a one trick fireplug. Nearly impossible to drive off his spot but not much range. His specialty should be useful in a rotation at NT depth, OG depth if he's a good teammate in all other respects.

And you've also stated that Merrill doesn't show much lateral movement skills for a d-lineman. So why did the Chargers sign this guy? Not saying he's great. Just wondering.

I would think that come maybe training camp or Labor Day -- post cuts, before the season starts - Telesco and Staley can assess the training camp, see what they have. I wouldn't be surprised if a veteran IOL were signed. At this point, I think they need to see what they have first. Plus - this is a slow time. Veterans might start signing end of July to get paid something
