The Chargers have been one of the better drafting teams in the NFL since 2004 when they got quarterback Philip Rivers in a trade with the Giants and added center Nick Hardwick, linebacker Shaun Phillips and running back Michael Turner in Rounds 3 through 5. In following years, the Chargers hit on players like Shawne Merriman, Luis Castillo, Vincent Jackson, Darren Sproles, Marcus McNeill and Eric Weddle. Raye’s father Jimmy Raye II was a longtime assistant coach in the NFL. The Bears are expected to interview Marc Ross, the director of college scouting for the New York Giants, on Wednesday. Phil Emery, the director of college scouting for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Tim Ruskell, who has been the Bears’ director of personnel for the past two seasons, also are expected to interview this week. bmbiggs@tribune.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
