Safety choice poses draft riddle for Chargers

The Chargers, in their first season without Eric Weddle since the two-time All-Pro moved on to the Baltimore Ravens, expressed no remorse over the swap at free safety.

Dwight Lowery, although limited in some areas where the speedier Weddle had stood out in seasons prior to 2015, proved a serviceable stand-in last year.

Lowery earned the praise of several teammates. They described him as sharp dude who was fully invested in getting everyone on the same page.

Weddle-ish, in other words.

Durable as well, Lowery made all 16 starts, making him a Titanium Man of in a banged-up defense that was hit particularly hard in the secondary.
