The Los Angeles Chargers are a week into the new league year, but the team is still looking for ways to improve the team.
ESPN insider Kris Rhim says the team has to figure out what it will do at the guard position.
“The Chargers won’t return either of last season’s starters at the position. L.A. released Mekhi Becton and lost Johnson to the Browns. They have signed Cole Strange, who played right guard in Miami last season, and brought back Trevor Penning, who can play guard, but the Chargers will
need to add depth and competition to this group,” Rhim wrote.
The team had a rough year on the offensive line this season, but a lot of that had to do with Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt both dealing with injuries at the tackle positions. With both of them coming back into the fold next season, the bookends should be solid, but the interior could use some work. While Strange should be viewed as an option, the team will likely look towards drafting a player on the offensive line with a high pick.
The Chargers are hoping to get everything right with Justin Herbert in his prime, so making sure he is well-protected should be of paramount importance to the team.
