L.A. released Mekhi Becton and lost Johnson to the Browns. They have signed Cole Strange, who played right guard in Miami last season, and brought back Trevor Penning, who can play guard, but the Chargers will need to add depth and competition to this group,\u201d Rhim wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The team had a rough year on the offensive line this season, but a lot of that had to do with Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt both dealing with injuries at the tackle positions. With both of them coming back into the fold next season, the bookends should be solid, but the interior could use some work. While Strange should be viewed as an option, the team will likely look towards drafting a player on the offensive line with a high pick.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Chargers are hoping to get everything right with Justin Herbert in his prime, so making sure he is well-protected should be of paramount importance to the team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">BFTB community, which offensive linemen do you think the team should sign or draft?
