The Chargers are in win-now mode with a 37-year-old Philip Rivers, and as a result shoring up a leaky offensive line to keep their aging signal caller upright may be the priority. Although a case can be made for a defensive back or defensive lineman too. A blocker isn’t going to fire up the fanbase or help close the enthusiasm gap between the Rams in the LA market, but it’s the right football move. Plus they might be able to have their cake and eat it to by trading a later pick for their quarterback of the future in Josh Rosen.
The Sooners won the Joe Moore Award as the nation’s top offensive line and Ford was the standout for that unit at right tackle. A mammoth human being with a thick frame and excellent strength, Ford is also a decent athlete with surprisingly nimble feet for such a large man. To top it all off, Ford is a classic nasty mauler in the trenches who plays the game with an edge. Ford has extensive experience at offensive guard too and that could ultimately be his best fit at the next level.
