Not a single fat man in this draft. Am I the only person who finds this odd? 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.
Why No DL or OL picked?

I think it takes a lot of optimism to be excited about our LT position. Maybe Pipkins will surprise but he is still from a small school and it takes a little leap of faith. I hate these picks where they see something everyone else hasn't. Chris Watt and Max Tuerck also come to mind. Both are out of football now.
Even more troubling than that though is they have a scrub as a backup in Trent Scott. We already know he can't play. They have done so well to address almost every other position you have to wonder what they are thinking at the LT spot.
