Now that the draft is in the rearview mirror, the depth chart is pretty much set as the Chargers embark on their offseason program. Although some things may change based on health, competition, etc., we have a good idea what the 2016 roster will look like.
Below is our first look at the team’s 2016 depth chart. The players listed in blue are the ones we believe will make the 53-man roster; the ones in green are the frontrunners for the practice squad; and the ones in red are likely to meet the Turk come August.
