Texas A&M guard Chase Bisontis<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles Chargers<\/a> have addressed part of the offensive line after being their worst position group in the 2025 season. Justin Herbert<\/a> was sacked 54 times in the recent campaign, the third most in the league.<\/p>\n LA added center Tyler Biadasz<\/a> on a three-year deal to replace Bradley Bozeman<\/a>, who retired entering the second season of his two-year deal. The team also signed guard Cole Strange<\/a>, who is expected to become the starting right guard, replacing the released Mehki Becton<\/a>. Joe Alt<\/a> and Rashawn Slater<\/a> are coming back from season-ending injuries to protect Herbert on the edges.<\/p>\n While the interior O-line has received some help in free agency, the Bolts appear to bring in another option through the upcoming draft.<\/p>\n Chargers to Meet with Guard Ahead of Draft GettyThe Chargers could revamp the offensive line in the draft<\/p>\n The Los Angeles Chargers have made additions to the offensive front, but the left guard spot remains wide open. Zion Johnson<\/a>, who held the LG spot last season for the Bolts, has left the organization and is now with the Cleveland Browns<\/a>.<\/p>\n Cole Strange<\/a> started his career at left guard, but most recently played at the right guard spot in the 2025 season, with head coach Jim Harbaugh mentioning that the expectation is for<\/a> Strange to become the starter at the RG role.<\/p>\n According to NFL<\/a> Network\u2019s Ian Rapoport, the Chargers are set to meet with Texas A&M guard Chase Bistonis on an NFL 30 visit.<\/p>\n Bistonis has played 36 games across three collegiate seasons with the Aggies, earning a third-team All-SEC in the 2025 season at the left guard spot, allowing just one sack. The O-line recorded a 70.7 pass block grade from Pro Football Focus<\/a> in his final collegiate season.<\/p>\n NFL analyst Lance Zierlein calls the player a \u201ctough, well-schooled guard\u201d with heavy hands and good footwork.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s consistent as a move\/zone blocker and when working downhill,\u201d Zierlein wrote<\/a>. \u201cWhile he provides poise and good technique as a run blocker, there are slight levels of anxiety\/hurry in his pass protection, with his lack of length a contributing factor. In general, his protection meets the mark and pairs nicely with his run blocking. Bisontis projects as a future starter with plenty of upside.\u201d<\/p>\n Chargers Expect to Take Offensive Lineman GettyMike McDaniel will be the offensive coordinator for the Bolts in the 2026 season, replacing Greg Roman<\/p>\n Other positions on the Los Angeles Chargers roster need work, including the defensive end spot. Still, it appears more than likely that the Bolts will take an interior offensive lineman with the 22nd overall pick.<\/p>\n According to ESPN\u2019<\/a>s Jordan Reid,\u00a0 as many as three interior O-linemen could be taken in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. The draft analyst reveals the Chargers and the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> as teams that were repeatedly cited as options to take one from sources across the league.<\/p>\n Reid noted Penn State guard Vega Ioane as the top interior offensive lineman, with many mock drafts also projecting the Bolts to take the Nittany Lion.<\/p>\n With a need to fill in the left guard gap, either Vega or Chase Bisontis would take on a huge role in their rookie seasons.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tJason Garcia<\/a> Jason Garcia is a sports contributor for Heavy Sports who joined the team in 2025, covering the New England Patriots, Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers.
