It seems that Tom Telesco is quite satisfied with his lineup at this point and is looking for pieces to add depth as rotational backups. That’s exactly what Tranquill is going to be. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Telesco has now drafted nine linebackers since becoming general manager of the Chargers. Clearly, it’s a position he keeps close tabs on.
Tranquill comes with injury concerns (he tore the ACL in each knee during his college career), so he’ll have to prove that he can stay on the field. Initially, he should begin his career on special teams.
