FanHouse Mock Draft: San Diego Chargers Select Gosder Cherilus No. 27 - FanHouse - AOL Sports Blog

With each pick of the FanHouse mock draft, we get into the head of an NFL general manager and let you know who he'll pick and why.

The Chargers are one of those teams that doesn't have any glaring needs and who will use the draft to add depth to this year's team and long term stability. San Diego is one of the best draft teams in the NFL and will chose very wisely here.

One spot that could use a jolt is right tackle. If BC tackle Gosder Cherilus lasts this long, the Bolts will snatch him up.

Cherilus is a beast (6-6, 315) with long arms and excellent quickness. A guy like that is perfect for a team that utilizes the running back a lot and has a young QB. His long arms are great for pass blocking while his explosiveness in getting to the next level of the defense works great for a team with LaDainian Tomlinson. One knock on him is his technique ... but that can be learned.

The Skinny:
Team Needs: CB, OT, DT, RB, S
Player Selected: Gosder Cherilus, OT, Boston College
Also Considered: Aqib Talib, CB, Kansas; Kenny Phillips, S, Miami-FL

Previous Pick: No. 26, Kentwan Balmer, DT, North Carolina

Next Pick: No. 28, Dallas Cowboys
