I've updated my running version of the Chargers' roster with the team's 9 draft picks and 10 signed UDFAs. The Chargers have 80 players under contract or just drafted in the recent draft. I checked the list against the roster on the Chargers' website just before the draft, so I think it's accurate.
The Chargers still need a safety, preferably a veteran, and could use more depth at DL and edge. But overall it's looking pretty good. I think Palmer may supplant Guyton as WR3 by mid-season. McKitty will get a lot of time as blocking tight end. And with James and Tranquill coming back from season-long injuries, it will be like getting two new starters, assuming they can stay healthy. Tranquill looked really good before his injury. And Derwin James is Derwin James.
I've added short blurbs after each player to show how they entered the league: drafted/FA, year, and the team that drafted/signed them if not the Chargers. I've also added links to profiles for most of the players who weren't drafted by the Chargers. For info on the 2021 UDFAs, see the 2021 UDFA Tracking Thread:
https://www.thepowderblues.com/forum...racking-thread
Overall the list is split evenly between drafted (39) and nondrafted (41) players, although of course the percentage of free agents on the final 53 will be a lot less.
One thing I found interesting is that the Chargers' defense is almost entirely homegrown: Of the 34 players, 29 were either drafted by the Chargers or signed by the Chargers as an UDFA. The offense has a much bigger split: 25 of the 39 players were drafted or signed by the Chargers, while 14 were originally drafted or signed by other teams.

Lots of potential with these guys. With Staley as a first year HC, it’s hard to put a value or have a concrete opinion of how we’ll stack up, so this off-season has been a giant waitNsee show.
suddenly we have potential for passrush
and an OL
pretty exciting timesG-Ro knows.

I go to another forum where it’s fans of all 32 teams. And the posters on there are pretty smart as well. It is funny to see the contrast some of us have with others outside our team. We were definitely considered winners by many.

I am worried about DL depth. Any injuries to the starters and we are in trouble again like when Justin Jones and Bosa were out last year and we got run all over. We were about avg in run D for the year.
