Off-season Outlook: San Diego Chargers - Chris Burke
Barksdale should be the easiest call on this list. The 28-year-old started all 16 games and has become a dependable right tackle amid another injury-plagued season from the Chargers’ O-line.

San Diego is one of the greatest cities in the world, and a great place to live. I love it."

Donald Butler defrauded Chargers - Kevin Acee (UT$)
Watch the film. It’s like Butler lost interest. A guy who was a playmaker, a hustler, on the verge of being a ballhawk, started going the wrong way, stopping, sometimes hardly starting. There were a few games after which his uniform might have actually been clean.

Prospect Profile: Laquon Treadwell - Ricky Henne
While not a burner, pundits say he has more speed and athleticism than he is given credit for.  With natural hands and an unrivaled passion for the game, Treadwell is a safe bet to hear his name called early on day one.
