Gosder Cherilus
Offensive Tackle Boston College |
 |
||||
| ANALYSIS: Offensive Tackle is the one glaring need on the Chargers roster and they select Gosder Cherilus; Offensive Tackle from Boston College. With only this #27 pick in the first 4 rounds, they need to find an Offensive Tackle who is immediately ready to step in and contribute. The Chargers released starting RT Shane Olivea and Cherilus has the size the Chargers love in their Offensive Linemen. His versatility and college experience will allow him to challenge 3rd year pro Jeromey Clary for the RT position, or be able to step in for 4th year pro Marcus McNeill. Cherilus possesses a rare combination of size and speed. At 6'7" and 315lbs. He has a tall, lanky frame with excellent arm length, large, strong hands, a huge wingspan and room on his frame to carry at least another 25lbs. of bulk without having it affect his quickness. He struggled last year after moving to LT, especially one game vs Notre Dame. He is a durable, mauler-type that started 51 straight games and would be best served playing on the right-side; but has all the tools to play either position. | ||||||
