WHAT POSITIONS GO DEEPEST IN SAN DIEGO

What positions do the Chargers go deepest ?  
Decisions solidified in hours for the final 53-man roster.  
Twenty-two players dreams will be put to rest, a practice squad or if lucky another organization. These preseason games are sometimes the closest these players get in their NFL careers. 704 will be let go throughout the NFL by this evening.

Sometimes the Cinderella story follows, take Atari Bigby, in his first year was undrafted, released by two teams in the first few months of the 2005 season.  The Dolphins and then the Jets after the preseason, made it to the practice squad of a 3rd team the Green Bay Packers a few months later just before Christmas, the stars lined up and he was elevated to the active roster.  Talk about character building, determination & drive!  Since he has been one of the most talked about SS in the league, a difference maker.  He enters his 8th season in the NFL in San Diego after a year with Seattle.

The question still looms, what positions go deepest? For that's what it boils down to today.
Chargers HC Norv Turner probably has had a tentative list, however all holds are off after last nights game in SF. The slaughtering defeat vs a mid season looking Niners made it difficult to shine or sway a vote on staying.

You've got 33 positions;  offense, defense & special teams (which could go to two in special teams with kick & punt returns, both requiring a different return man & scheme).  How many receivers, backs, O-linemen, QB's, D-backs, ends, secondary players remain on the roster?? What injuries do you need reserve?  In San Diego the number one that shines at present is the Offensive line, the middle three, but that's just apart of the equation you have to allot for injuries.  Quite a difficult puzzle. Who waives good-bye to San Diego?  By this evening the puzzle will be revealed.
