Rivers Gets Help in the Backfield
I really thought the San Diego Chargers would add some help to the offensive line in the 2008 NFL Draft. Philip Rivers needs to be protected. He’s not the most mobile quarterback in the world. The Chargers did add an offensive tackle to their roster, but he wasn’t picked until the 7th round and might not even make the active roster.
Their first round pick was the cornerback Cason out of Arizona. In rounds 3 and 5 they added two players to help improve the ground attack, Jacob Hester out of LSU and Marcus Thomas from Texas- El Paso. You can view the entire Chargers draft at NFL.com.
After their first two picks, the Chargers didn’t really add much, but that’s OK I suppose. They are one of the best teams in the AFC and were just a player or two away from the Superbowl. Maybe Cason is that guy. It’s too bad he doesn’t play on offense.
