The LA Chargers surprisingly did not draft an offensive lineman in the 2020 NFL Draft, putting faith in the offensive line that the team currently has. Despite the front office’s faith, there are concerns around the offensive line, as it has consistently been the weakest point of the offense in the past several seasons.
After selecting Justin Herbert sixth and trading back into the first for Kenneth Murray, it makes sense why the Chargers did not then draft a tackle. The team was not going to find anyone much better than Trey Pipkins, last year’s third-round pick, in the late rounds, so expecting the team to draft a starting tackle that late was just setting up for disappointment.
