interior depth piece with tackle-hunting habits
Ben Thorne profiles as a hard-nosed interior defensive lineman for San Diego whose value is built on effort, functional strength, and disruption in the middle rather than flash. In his 2007 season, he appeared in 6 games and totaled 10 tackles, and his earlier prep resume showed a knack for piling up stops, including 93 total tackles in high school. The fit question is simple: if a staff wants a gritty, physical DL who can eat snaps, stay engaged, and battle inside, Thorne looks like a sensible fit.
