the Chargers have no major holes on the roster. with the 27th overall pick they are one of the few teams that have the luxury of drafting for depth. there are rumors floating around that AJ Smith wants to move up but its unlikely with the Chargers only having 4 draft picks this season. the Chargers have the option of drafting Michael Turners replacement, a cornerback to replace Drayton Florence, or drafting for depth on the defensive line. if a player such has Rashard Mendenhall is there at 27 expect smart money would be that he would be drafted by the Chargers. Justin King is another possibilty at CB as is everyones new favorite CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. they also could look to a player such as Miami's Kenny Phillips to replace the recently released Marlon McCree. with AJ Smith at the helm, we are going to have to wait until the draft to know what direction he wants to head in.
