2 Chargers players on roster bubble who must shine in preseason
The Los Angeles Chargers have shuffled their franchise and roster immensely this offseason. New general manager Joe Hortiz and Jim Harbaugh have already made big changes to the Chargers' roster and that will continue during the NFL preseason. Having said that, some players, like Isaiah Spiller and Cornelius Johnson, will need to shine during NFL training camp and preseason in order to make the Chargers' 53-man roster under this new regime.

Expert Commentary
It's not the sexy pick, but it's a pick thats going to make the Chargers better immediately and in the long term. Even though they needed wide receiver help, they also needed help at tackle and got a 10-year, Pro Bowl level starter in Joe Alt.

Expert Commentary
The Chargers desperately needed a wide receiver and traded up to get the speedy playmaker from Georgia. He was a force for the Dawgs from Day 1 and a fantastic route runner for an offense that featured several NFL players. It’s an unproven wide receiver room for the Chargers, but McConkey and Quentin Johnston have some promise at least.

Expert Commentary
The Chargers really needed a linebacker in the draft and Jim Harbaugh went back to Michigan to find one. Colson is one of the better linebacker prospects in the draft and his athleticism should help him make plays early for the Chargers.
