Los Angeles Chargers Playoff Chances

The Los Angeles Chargers were expected to embark on a teardown and build anew with Jim Harbaugh taking charge. They didn't tear things down but they did manage to shimmy through their salary cap situation. 

Joe Alt, Ladd McConkey and Brenden Rice represent pretty good values at their picks while free agency addition Gus Edwards was a smart maneuver. There's a vision with Harbaugh's moves in the draft. Don't expect the Chargers to storm into the playoffs this year, but next year could bring some surprises.
