There are holes to varying degrees all across the roster (wide receiver, linebacker Womens Kellen Winslow Jersey , safety, interior defensive line) but none of those really compare to the bookends of the offensive line. SB Nation’s FanPulse survey of Chargers fans certainly reflects that reality:A clear majority of respondents voted that offensive tackle is the biggest need remaining to be addressed the week of the NFL Draft. Philip Rivers has been nearly impossible to injure throughout his career, but another year of relying on the likes of Sam Tevi to protect him is just asking for trouble. There is a real chance that all of the consensus top four tackles are gone before Tom Telesco and the Chargers are on the clock, but if one of Jawaan Taylor, Cody Ford Philip Rivers Jersey , Jonah Williams, or Andre Dillard slips that far, one can almost picture the Chargers representative sprinting to turn in their selection. Chargers running back Melvin Gordon, who is making noises about holding out into the start of the season if he doesn’t get a new contract, is well aware that he plays a position whose value has declined.Gordon said in June that running backs are not valued in the NFL the way they used to be.“We’re definitely devalued. We definitely are. That’s just kind of how we’re looked upon in the league right now http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-melvin-gordon-jersey ,” Gordon said.The problem Gordon faces is that the most valuable running backs — at least in terms of their contracts — have actually proven to be easily replaceable with much cheaper options. Le'Veon Bell sits out the season and James Conner fills in just fine. Todd Gurley gets hurt and C.J. Anderson comes in off the street and doesn’t miss a beat.And on the Chargers, Austin Ekeler has proven himself capable of filling in for Gordon — and Ekeler makes the league minimum. The Chargers may decide that Gordon is no more valuable than his $5.6 million salary, and that they’re not paying him a penny more.
