COSTA MESA, Calif. -- What will the new Los Angeles Chargers coaching staff and Tom Telesco, in his sixth season as general manager, do in the upcoming NFL draft?
Telesco was wildly successful in last year's draft, especially with quarterback Justin Herbert -- who was named offensive rookie of the year -- but, bottom line, the Chargers need to protect him.
"I'm encouraged where we are with the core players that we have, with the coaching staff that's here," Telesco said. "But we've got some work to do."
They signed the best center in free agency in All-Pro Corey Linsley and added Oday Aboushi and Matt Feiler, but the Chargers are in dire need of a left tackle.
