(Sports Network) - Interestingly, though the Chargers were able to keep LaDainian Tomlinson and Darren Sproles in the fold for 2009, running back remains a need for San Diego. Tomlinson is in apparent decline, and it's unlikely that the team views Sproles as a load-carrier for the long-term. Don't be shocked if GM A.J. Smith takes a long look at Knowshon Moreno (Georgia) and/or Beanie Wells (Ohio State). The other early possibilities are another body in the secondary, in particular someone who can cover, or a 3-4 end to replace the departed Igor Olshansky (Cowboys). With the team's seven second-day picks, some interior o-line help and a top-notch blocking fullback ought to be targets.
