Thus far through the first few early mock drafts for next year, draft analysts believe the Chargers will mainly be looking at one of two positons: Defensive tackle or cornerback. I have not seen one with a player not at one of those two spots. That continues today as CBS Sports’ Ryan Wilson sees the […]
Ever since Joe Hortiz stepped foot in the The Bolt as the Chargers’ new general manager, he has spouted about his love for getting the compensatory pick formula rolling as soon as possible. In each of his first three offseasons, that has largely been shown. This offseason specifically, the Chargers had several players go sign […]
