Aside from all the talk about whether or not the Chargers will be trading Philip Rivers or not re-signing Philip Rivers or trying to acquire Marcus Mariota to learn under Philip Rivers, the Chargers do have several other things to address before the NFL Draft starts on April 30.
Namely, what to do if they don’t make a deal and just hang on to their six scheduled picks.
“We’ve got things narrowed down,” said general manager Tom Telesco. “Right now it’s a lot of going through different scenarios of, what could happen and if that happened, what would we do? We try and make those decisions now so when we’re on the clock we’re not making decisions at that point.”
Telesco outlined the team’s preparation for the event, which includes a lot of role playing. They don’t want anything to take them by surprise.
“Obviously, with 31 other teams, it takes some time,” said Telesco about the process. “We’ll sit around the table and just discuss the board and discuss what could happen.”
The Chargers have obvious needs at defensive line and running back, and another pass rusher would be a good idea, as well. However, the Bolts can’t tell us right now what position group they will address at what time.
"We don't rank our needs. We have specific areas on the field we want to add to."
