We just traded Ezra Cleveland to the Jags for a 6th rounder

Yep, a big reason I'm sure.

Agree. The comp is what it is, but I'd rather have kept him as well. Injuries happen. The team must feel good about Blake Brandel as their swing guard. 
I went to the chargers game and he was the backup center in warmups 
That's odd, since Schlottmann is obviously the backup there. Maybe they're just giving Brandel some snaps there so he can be the utility backup for every position. Don't think I've ever seen that, but it would be a valuable role.

An outlier as i think Bradbury was down that game.  Loiks like he is the total swing guy.
