The Chargers are looking to shore up their offensive line this offseason. While the offensive tackle position should be the main focal point, adding more pieces along the interior is also a necessity.
With that, Los Angeles appears to be intrigued by one of the guards in this year’s draft.
According to Draft Wire’s Justin Melo, the Bolts will bring in former Louisiana-Lafayette guard Kevin Dotson for a private visit.
Dotson, the AP First-Team All American, started all but one of his 53 games at right guard. Despite standing out at the East-West Shrine Bowl, he was not invited to the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine.
The 6-foot-4 and 310 pounder is a tough, durable and reliable competitor. Dotson is sufficient in sustaining blocks by showing exceptional power and hand placement, along with the foot quickness. He is a very strong finisher and regularly takes opponents to the ground through the whistle.
Dotson, one of Pro Football Focus’ top-ranked guards in the run-blocking department, has the skillset to come in and compete for starting reps in Year 1.
