Where does Denver Broncos offensive line rank in AFC West?

2. Los Angeles Chargers

By my count, the Chargers have four solid offensive linemen, which makes for a great offensive line.

Expect them to open up the season by starting Rashawn Slater, Matt Feiler, Corey Linsley, and Zion Johnson, their rookie draft pick.

Their only question is truly at right tackle.

While they don’t have the depth along the line that Denver has, they have a stronger core than the Broncos.

Slater is going to be a perennial Pro Bowler, Corey Linsley is one of the best centers in the NFL, and Zion Johson has very high potential.

Their offensive line was a bit of a liability in 2020, so Herbert’s insane production was even more…insane.

Now, in 2022, the unit is set to be a strength.  Protecting the quarterback is the single most important thing any team needs to do, so the Chargers investing heavily in this unit over the last couple of years is set to pay great dividends.

Their right tackle spot is a question mark, but there are still quality free agents left like Riel Reiff and Daryl Williams who could fill that void nicely.
