"We wanted to get through free agency, get through the draft, see where we are right now and we'll look at it from here and through the draft. But I really don't have any firm timetable on it. I'm very comfortable where we are right now. We'll talk with everybody and see where we are."Chargers' draft finds five immediate contributors in 2019 - Tyler SchoonThe most important part of this draft, and the main point of the article, is that Telesco found instant contributors on Day 3. That’s not to say any of them will be instant starters, but rather they will make an immediate impact on defense and special teams. Drue Tranquill, the team’s fourth round selection http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-darius-philon-jersey , steps in as one of the team’s most athletic linebackers on the roster.The needle continues to point upwards in Los Angeles as the team secures a solid draft haul - Michael RennerAll of a sudden the unit that got shredded up the middle against the New England Patriots looks a lot more formidable. Add in Notre Dame linebacker Drue Tranquill at pick 130 — a player we had 90th on our draft board — and you’ve got the makings of something special on the Chargers defense. The Chargers had PFF’s favorite draft of any team that made the playoffs last year as the needle continues to point upwards in Los Angeles.AFC West Notes: Chargers, Stick, Broncos - Zach Links“He’s going to play quarterback for us. We have running backs,” head coach Anthony Lynn said (via the Associated Press). “We don’t a need a quarterback that can run all over the place, but he can certainly create when he has to.”Steals of the 2019 NFL Draft - Michael RennerTillery was tied with Quinnen Williams for the highest pass-rushing grade among interior defenders in all of college football last season. What is even more intriguing is that Tillery led all interior defenders in pass-rushing grades on screens last year. Pair his length and athleticism on stunts with Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram on the outside, and you’ve got a deadly third-down package.Remaining free agents who could have fantasy value in 2019 - Daniel KelleyChargers coach Anthony Lynn said back in March that he could see a scenario where Gates comes back for one more year in 2019, but even that seems unlikely. Gates, 39 in June, has totaled only 649 yards and five scores in the last two years combined without missing a single game in that time. That was roughly his 11-game total in the 2015 season. If Gates does return Womens Adrian Phillips Jersey , it would be only as a red-zone weapon, and it almost certainly would only be in Los Angeles.Social Media Information:BFTB Facebook Page: Click here to like our pageBFTB Twitter: Follow @BFTB_ChargersThe Lightning Round Twitter: Follow @Lightning_RoundThe Lightning Round Facebook: Click here to like our pageBFTB Manager: Richard Wade: Follow @RichardWade COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP)Melvin Ingram expects greatness from the Los Angeles Chargers defense.Ingram is so confident of it, he wants a chance to moonlight on offense.The Pro Bowl defensive end lobbied for a look at tight end after the team’s three-day mandatory minicamp concluded Thursday, offering another signal of how productive the Chargers expect to be in their second season under coordinator Gus Bradley.”It’s just getting in where I fit in,” said Ingram, who matched his career high with 10sacks last season. ”Fitting in and making some plays. The more you can do.”The Chargers’ defense expects to be able to do plenty. They have more familiarity with Bradley’s 4-3 defense, a potential star in rookie safety Derwin James, and another option to rush the passer in emerging talent Isaac Rochell.Joey Bosa is not as boisterous as his counterpart at defensive end Drew Kaser Jersey , but shares Ingram’s outlook the Chargers will be formidable after allowing 17 points per game last season, which ranked third in the NFL.”Hopefully a similar defense to what we had last year, with some of those sloppy mistakes and some of the run game stuff patched up and fixed,” Bosa said.”We were moving in the last direction last year. Obviously, here and there we let up some tough games in the run game. But I think with the addition of the rookies we have and after years of playing together, can’t tell the future but it’s looking like we are going to have a great defense.”James, who was selected by the Chargers at No. 17 overall in the first round, was the standout among the newcomers this week. He intercepted Phillip Rivers on Wednesday and looked solid in his most extensive work so far, aside from a mixup on an assignment when the offense put a receiver in motion on the final day.Asked about where James looks best after playing both strong and free safety http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-hunter-henry-jersey , coach Anthony Lynn joked, ”In a Charger uniform.”Said Ingram: ”That’s why we went and got him in the first round. He’s been everything as expected.”There were no such presumptions for Rochell, a seventh-round draft pick in 2017 coming out of Notre Dame. After losing weight and becoming more proficient in pass rush techniques, however, he could give the Chargers another threat coming off the edge to complement the standout duo of Bosa and Ingram.”I’ve always liked Isaac,” Bosa said. ”I think he’s a great guy and I think he has the potential to be a great rush end, but the jump he made was kind of unexpected. Seeing him out here with his hands and just the way he is moving is pretty unbelievable.””He’s definitely going to be another piece to our rotation,” Ingram said. ”It’s not `if he can become,’ he’s definitely going to be a piece.”Rochell’s development might allow Ingram a chance to catch passes instead of getting sacks.Ingram Womens Joe Barksdale Jersey , who memorably scored on a 68-yard touchdown run off a fake punt in college at South Carolina, spent time after practice working against cornerback Tony Brown.Ingram even told Rivers that a connection between the quarterback and converted defender could be more productive than the record-setting rapport he shared with tight end Antonio Gates.When it comes to evaluating the Chargers’ defense or his own skills, Ingram is not lacking for swagger.”I’m always confident,” Ingram said. ”Ain’t nothing changed.”NOTES: Rivers and defensive tackle Brandon Mebane did not practice Thursday, as Lynn gave any player with at least 10 years experience the day off. Lynn extended the policy to excuse offensive tackle Russell Okung, who will be entering his ninth season this fall.—
