After a disappointing season in which the San Diego Chargers finished 8-8, and lost a playoff spot to the Denver Broncos, the management is certainly going to try and jump start a team which was predicted for a deep run to the playoffs in the 2011 season. The bright side is that the Chargers did finish strong in the last month, going 3-1, and 1-1 against playoff opponents. At times the Chargers look dominating, and other times, they look downright miserable. While the Chargers do need some minor tweaks and fixings on both sides of the ball, we’re going to take a look at what they need on the offensive side. With holes here and there, the Chargers definitely need to be on the lookout in the draft to rebuild and find key players at key positions to get the most production out of Philip Rivers and Ryan Mathews. In this article, we will look for the top offensive needs in the 2012 NFL Draft for the San Diego Chargers.

Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Jarrod Argobright, and I am the new owner of the San Diego Chargers. From 2002 until January of 2005, I lived in Coronado, CA, right across the Pacific Ocean from downtown San Diego, thus allowing me to get a further glimpse into this fine city’s NFL franchise. Unfortunately I moved back to Ohio in 2005 to deal with family matters, but I...

Norv Turner has to know by now that he is coaching for his San Diego life.

Offseason To-Do List Surprisingly Offensive
The Chargers get their offseason to-do list in order, and most of the holes needing patching are on the defensive side, right? Not so fast.
Nose Tackle Market Will Draw Good Action
The Chargers will have to make a move at nose tackle, be it re-signing Antonio Garay, drafting a replacement or acquiring a two-gap plugger in free agency. That final option is more appealing this year than most, as there are several 3-4 nose tackles set to hit the open market.
