Ryan Ramczyk

OT, Wisconsin

The San Diego Chargers may be saying goodbye to the city of San Diego, as all signs point to them moving to Los Angeles for the 2017 NFL season. The 2016 campaign was quite a roller coaster ride, as they let some big wins slip through their fingers early in the season. They rebounded to play competitive football throughout, but they are going to have some big holes to fill if they want to compete in the suddenly packed AFC West.

Quarterback Philip Rivers did the best with what he had in 2016, as he lost his top receiver to a torn ACL during Week 1 of the season. Rivers still was as dangerous as any quarterback in the division, but he was often failed by his offensive line. The organization needs to bolster their line if they want to keep him playing for at least the next two or so years, so drafting an elite offensive tackle may be the way to go.

Ryan Rumczyk has officially declared for the NFL Draft, and after being arguably the best offensive lineman in the Big Ten for the past few years, he should go in the first round. He has incredible size and strength, and could stay on the left side at the next level. The Bolts have been piecing their offensive line together for the past few years, so it is definitely time to get a mainstay in next April’s draft.
