Matt Smith Contemplates If The Chargers Would Make Another Trade To Select Taliese Fuaga.
Los Angeles Chargers radio personality Matt “Money” Smith discussed the potential match of a specific right lineman out of Oregon State on his podcast Bleav In Chargers, as the Bolts strive to strengthen their defense.
Los Angeles might be able to trade their fifth-round selection for a later first-round pick as a result.
Following up on the comments made by newly appointed Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz during his NFL Combine press conference earlier this week, Smith attempted to ascertain Hortiz’s plans for leading the team in his first draft as general manager.
Smith stated, “Joe Hortiz had his press conference yesterday.” “Look, this year’s wide receiver class is really deep,” he stated in response to a question concerning the group’s and this year’s talent. Joe is saying, “I have to take wide receiver [with the fifth pick],” according to what I read into it.
Because we have Justin Herbert as our quarterback, I know everyone wants to give us [All-American LSU junior] Malik Nabers, but this wide receiver group is so deep that we’re going to get somebody who’s really, very excellent in the second or third round. We’re not required to accept that at five. We could strengthen our lines. Therefore, I believe you can still take the top tackle if you trade back.”
