The Chargers’ early preseason evaluation centers on Trey Harris, Trey Lance, and Joe Alt, with Keenan Allen’s signing softening the immediate pressure on the rookie trio. Harris has been quiet through two games, while Lance has steadily pushed his trade value and potential trade discussions into the conversation. Alt faces stiff competition to establish left tackle status in year two, especially with Rashawn Slater returning from injury. The conversation stays grounded in practice notes, tape review, and how these players could influence the 53-man roster and Week 1 depth chart.

Across the show, the hosts weigh the balance of upside versus immediate impact, noting Harris’ blocking progress and contested catches as signs of usable upside despite two targets. Lance’s evolution—from legs-first to more refined passing—has turned him into a legitimate trade chip, though staying as Herbert’s backup remains the practical aim. Alt’s path hinges on development and whether Slater’s return reaffirms him at left tackle or reshuffles the line. The show also touches on practice dynamics, roster construction, and the implications for fantasy managers tracking Chargers depth charts.
