Staying put: 

La’el Collins : Offensive Tackle – LSU – 6’5″, 321 lbs

Collins is a high motor, aggressive run blocker who has consistently pushed defenders onto their heels. He is prototype size and is comfortable both as a tackle or a guard. He knows how to finish plays and is relentless in his efforts. A big mauler could ignite the spark the Chargers are looking for in their run game.

Eddie Goldman : Defensive Tackle – Florida State – 6’3″, 315 lbs

Goldman brings a lot of power and versatility to any line. He is comfortable as a pure nose tackle and also could also be lined up as a pass rushing defensive end. The vast majority of his NFL comparisons are to Corey Liuget. He had 8 TFL, 4 sacks, and 1 FF in 2014. While he will be an instant contributor at the next level, he is more of a run defender than an elite pass rusher.
