Despite signing a pair of young, up-and-coming defensive tackles this offseason, the Chargers shouldn’t feel content just yet about where their defensive interior currently stands.
In next week’s draft, I wouldn’t be all that surprised if they used their first-round pick on another defensive lineman, even after adding Austin Johnson and Sebastian Joseph-Day. However, we know it’s not the team’s biggest need and with positions like offensive tackle and cornerback looking a bit more fragile, they’d be smart to look for more help along the interior in the later rounds.
Enter UCLA lineman Otito Ogbonnia, a 6’4, 324-pound tackle that reportedly met with the Chargers this past week, according to Pro Football Network insider Tony Pauline.
