No. 10: Eric Edholm – NFL.com
If losing defensive coordinator Jesse Minter is seen as a blow, the addition of Mike McDaniel as offensive coordinator might be one the best upgrades of the offseason so far. At the very least, the McDaniel-Jim Harbaugh pairing will be interesting, but Justin Herbert figures to be the beneficiary -- assuming the Chargers can make the proper offseason roster upgrades... They must assume the Broncos will be back and that the Chiefs aren't likely to suffer another non-winning season. The sledding will be tough, but the Chargers are still worth keeping an eye on.

The Los Angeles Chargers are never short on offseason buzz. They hired Mike McDaniel ... for the offensive coordinator position, and it may be the move that brings the best out of Justin Herbert.
Regardless, skeptics will wait to see what the Chargers do in the playoffs before they start to believe in a club that has wilted in its last two postseason appearances. That said, having two healthy tackles in Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt will certainly go a long way in helping the Chargers make a playoff run next year.

Bringing in Mike McDaniel as offensive coordinator will really get that side of the ball going. The health of the offensive line will as well.
