The first wave of free agency has come to an end, and the Chargers were successful in addressing a few positions of need.
Many have been wondering how the moves made in free agency impacts the roster, so I’ve decided to do a way-too-early 53-man roster projection.
To make it as accurate as possible, I included the positions that I believe Los Angeles will address in the upcoming draft to fill the holes on the depth.
With that being said, here’s my first crack at it:
