Despite finishing as one of the worst units last year, it’s evident that Chargers general manager Tom Telesco feels comfortable with the offensive line going into the 2019 season.

Los Angeles didn’t make the point to address the position other than drafting third-round selection Trey Pipkins in the 2019 NFL draft. It’s unlikely that Pipkins will see any playing time this year since the coaching staff wants to be patient with his development and sees him as their long-term left tackle.

That is why Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox feels that the Bolts need to bring in a veteran offensive tackle before the upcoming season starts to fill in at one of their bigger positional question marks.

The Los Angeles Chargers have one of the more complete rosters in the NFL. However, they do have room for an upgrade at one position: right tackle. Sam Tevi was serviceable at best as a starter there in 2018, and he was a liability at his worst. Pro Football Focus ranked Tevi 74th among offensive tackles last season. While the Chargers did bring aboard offensive tackle Trey Pipkins in the third round of the draft, they should add some veteran depth to the competition. Some decent options remain available—including Donald Penn, Byron Bell and Jermon Bushrod—and more should hit the market before September. The Chargers simply don’t have a reason to risk letting the right tackle position again be a weakness in 2019.

At the moment, the starting offensive line going into training camp will look similar to the one that finished the 2018 season.

Left Tackle: Russell Okung

Left Guard: Dan Feeney

Center: Mike Pouncey

Right Guard: Michael Schofield III

Right Tackle: Sam Tevi

The only position we expect to be different at the end of camp and preseason is left guard with Forrest Lamp taking over Dan Feeney.

As far as the tackle positions, they each carry a bit of worry. Russell Okung is dealing with a mysterious undisclosed injury that may cause him to miss some time. Meanwhile, Sam Tevi is coming off a very poor season as the team’s starting right tackle.

It wouldn’t be all that surprising if the coaching staff feels that Tevi could bounce back in his third season, which is why they weren’t as aggressive with the position this offseason.

While many would like to see the Chargers bring in another offensive tackle to compete with Tevi, it’s probably unlikely given Telesco’s conservative nature when it comes to bringing in additional notable players beyond the offseason.
