This is a preview of the Chargers offseason.
QB- Philip is a top 7 QB. You should fully expect him to return to form this year.
RB- Ryan Matthews had that breakout year and looks to be the franchise running back. Mike Tolbert and Jacob Hester are free agents. Expect one of them to return more likely Tolbert. Look for them to look for an athletic running back in the mid rounds as none of their current running backs have that kind of speed.
WR- This unit played well in small games, and small in big games. Vincent Jackson did not gain back his form back from 2009. Vincent Jackson and Patrick Crayton are free agents. Patrick Crayton will more then likely will return, but Jackson will enter free agency and more then likely won't return. They will probably spend a mid round pick on a receiver.
TE- A position of strength although Antonio Gates has his mantle taken from the likes of Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham. But he is obviously still an elite TE. Both of their backups are free agents so look for them to add depth in the draft to replace them.
OL- During their losing streak this unit was the main cause of it as they struggled the most. Although the played better when they tried to make their run at the end of the year. Their problem wasn't talented it was depth. There key free agents here are Brandyn Dombrowski and Nick Hardwick and they both are expected back. Expected them in the mid rounds to draft depth for the o-line.
DL- Overall this is a solid unit who does a good job at stopping at stopping the run. Antonio Garay is their only free agent and he should be back as he is vital to their defense. Expect them to just add depth.
LB- This unit had a solid year but had trouble rushing the passer when Shaun Phillips. They need to find a pass rusher opposite of Phillips. Look for them to look for an outside pass rusher in the 1st or 2nd round.
DB- This is the straw that killed the camel's back. They were atrocious in the secondary all year. More so the corner back play. Look for them early in the draft to draft a corner back to push Jammer and Cason.
