The Chargers are in a tough situation. They have enough talent to make the Super Bowl, but they also have an aging running back in L.T.
The Chargers have a problem in that they don’t have a lot of draft picks. As of this writing, they do not have a 2nd, 3rd and 4th round picks.
It seems to me that a trade is in order. Perhaps they can find a way to bundle up Sproles with a linebacker and trade them for a pick or two in the rounds where the Chargers don’t have picks.
Sproles IMO, is a situational back at best. He is not the type of back to replace Michael Turner, because Sproles is much smaller. Granted, Sproles is also a return man, but I think that job can be replaced by someone else on the squad.
If Sproles gets traded, and if the right running back is available when the Charger pick, I could see them drafting that running back.
LT has led a relatively injury free career. Given his age, I would be surprised if he remained healthy for the entire 2008 season.
