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 […]

The history of the Chargers is filled with undrafted free agents who paved their way into the lore of the team by overcoming their lack of draft status to be an impact player. This year, there are several interesting players who I believe have more of an inside shot to make the team’s final roster […]
The Chargers have their young tight end for the future in Oronde Gadsden II and recently signed former Ravens tight end Charlie Kolar who is expected to be heavily utilized as a run blocker.

Finally, the moment you’ve all been waiting for: Rookie jersey numbers! Best Number: OT Travis Burke Double numbers are always the best-looking, in my opinion. I think 77 is the best offensive lineman number with Jake Slaughter and 66 being a close second. Add in that a 6’9 guy is going to wear 77 and […]
The Los Angeles Chargers knew they needed to get some help for the secondary during the NFL Draft and they got that in defensive back Genesis Smith, the No. 131 overall pick out of Arizona. Smith is someone that could have gone much sooner in the draft, but the Chargers stopped his slide on Day […]
It’s truly never too early to get a head start on the next year’s draft. At least, that’s my humble opinion.

While none of the words thrown into power rankings at this point in the offseason truly matter until the pads come on and we start to really see how each team has improved from their offseason moves, it’s still a tried-and-true (and enjoyable!) method to forecast the season and try to stack all 32 teams […]
Opinions run rampant before, during, and after each year’s NFL draft. Of course, nothing drastically changed this year and that’s why we’re going to continue talking about them.
