CARSON, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Chargers love Lamp.
The Chargers grabbed Western Kentucky offensive lineman Forrest Lamp in the second round Friday, snagging the 6-foot-4, 300-pound behemoth widely considered to be a first-round talent with the 38th overall pick. Sticking to the offensive theme, the Bolts took Indiana guard Dan Feeney, who is 6-4, 310 pounds, in the third round, with the 71st pick overall.
Lamp and Feeney were the second and third straight offensive players drafted by the Chargers to help Rivers and Gordon in their attempt to rebound from a 5-11 season.
"When you have a chance to shore up an O-line with two good young players like that, you do it," said Lynn, who was a backup running back and special teams player in his NFL career. "I still think the game is played up front, O-line, D-line. There was value there, there was talent there, so we made the move."
Lamp played left tackle for the Hilltoppers, and he became the highest-drafted player in school history. He is likely to be a guard for the Chargers, who signed free-agent left tackle Russell Okung to a four-year deal last month.
"I said to him, 'Let's get it,'" Williams said. "'I need to learn this playbook so I can catch a few balls and have some fun.' I feel like I'm pretty lucky having a quarterback who can get me the ball."
"I think he's one of the greats," Feeney said. "I'm excited to be blocking for him. My job is to keep him safe. I'm stoked for this opportunity."
"At some point we're going to have to get some defense or the defensive coaches are going to jump off the building," Lynn cracked.
Williams said Rivers texted him shortly after the selection.
The Chargers picked receiver Mike Williams with the seventh overall selection, and he arrived at their new home stadium earlier Friday in Carson, California.

"Hopefully I can be a leader out there,Cheap NFL Jerseys Online, a guy who leads by example and does the right thing at the right time," Lamp said. "And hopefully an athletic guy who can give Philip Rivers more time and give Melvin Gordon a few more yards per carry."
Coach Anthony Lynn said the Chargers were sold on Lamp's versatility along the line. They tried to trade up to grab him before he fell to them.
