As far as the Chargers go, they have just signed Left and RIght Tackles to decent sized contracts with guaranteed money, so drafting Tunsil may not be the best fit. Not sure that their tackles are likely candidates to move inside either, so Ramsey might be exactly what they need and would replace Weddle in the secondary.
So the chance that Tunsil will be the guy available when we pick is very high. It would be nice to draft him but doing so presents a problem. He probably wouldn't be better than Free as a rookie so you are drafting a guy that will sit on the pine. Second, he is a LT, so moving him to RT might not be an easy move. If you wanted the best OL we could put together, it might make more sense putting Smith on the right side and letting Tunsil come in as a LT. The biggest thing is that Jones has already said it would be pretty hard to use another high pick on the OL.
To me, the option is to shop the trade down whether it's Ramsey or Tunsil. If that doesn't work, then you go with either Ramsey or Bosa as both are greater needs and are likely to be among the BPA on our board.
