4. Don’t forget about special teams
The Chargers are set at punter (JK Scott) and long snapper (Josh Harris) entering 2023, while Dustin Hopkins and Cameron Dicker are set to battle for the kicking job.
But with DeAndre Carter now with the Raiders, the Bolts have an opening at both kick and punt returner.
“Kick returner and punt returner, we will probably have to look in a couple of different areas and have some people come in and compete for that job,” Telesco said Monday.
The new returner may very well be on the roster, but the Bolts could also look to add a specialist in the draft.
“I think there are plenty of possibilities there,” Telesco said. “Whether it works out or not, that’s a different story. But, yeah, there are plenty of possibilities there.”
Alabama’s Jahmyr Gibbs, Georgia’s Kenny McIntosh, Shepherd’s Ronnie Brown and Oklahoma’s Marvin Mims, Jr., are just a few returner options in the draft.
The Chargers starting offensive line is set.
From left to right, it will be Rashawn Slater, Zion Johnson, Corey Linsley, Jamaree Salyer and Trey Pipkins III.
And while there is some depth behind them, Telesco hinted Monday that more could be needed.
“We still need to add some depth to that position group, because you never know if those five guys are going to line up for all 17 games, but we feel good about it,” Telesco said. “I think it is a strong point of the football team.”
The odds of drafting an offensive lineman in the first three rounds might be slim, but this could be a position group to watch on Day 3.
