Top three needs:TE, WR, DT. The Chargers spent much of last season struggling on offense while their defense allowed the fewest points per game in the NFL (17.7). Their offensive inefficiencies were on full display in their wild-card loss to the Texans, where Chargers pass catchers not namedLadd McConkeywere almost nonexistent. The Chargers must add another impactful pass catcher for quarterbackJustin Herbertthis offseason, whether it be at tight end or receiver, for this team to have a shot at making a deep postseason run.
As for the defensive line, the Chargers lost defensive tacklePoona Ford, one of their most important players this past season, in free agency. They could use a long-term answer in the interior defensive line.-- Kris Rhim
