Ladanian: Is he worth the 6th-8th pick?

The hope for a better year rests largely on a lack of serious injuries and the improved performance from the right side of the line and the FB position.

 

LT: Marcus McNeill is a Pro Bowl-caliber offensive tackle, but last year he had a neck injury that hampered him most of the season. Most reports are that his neck still isn't 100%.

 

LG: Kris Dielman is solid and returns.

 

C: Nick Hardwick is very good but had a foot injury last year that hampered him for the first half of the season. He needs to stay healthy.

 

RG: Mike Goff is gone and Kynan Forney is penciled in as the starter but could lose his job if rookie Louis Vasquez develops quickly as expected. Big question mark here at this position.

 

RT: Jeromey Clary returns as the starter. Most experts expected the Chargers to draft a high-profile tackle, but that didn't happen. Clary's run blocking was okay last season, but the knock on him was his sometimes inadequate pass protection.

 

FB: Mike Tolbert and Jacob Hester are the returning veterans. In 2008 neither of them was impressive in run blocking. Neal was definitely missed.

 

Last year I watched opposing defenses stack the line against the run on the left side and blitz more on the right side. We'll see if that trend continues in 2009.

 

Great post.
