The Chargers offseason is rolling along.

Up next? Organized Team Activity (OTA) practices.

While no live contact is permitted during OTAs, teams can do 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills.

The Chargers will hold OTAs on May 27-28, May 30, June 3-5 and June 16-18. A mandatory minicamp will be held June 10-12.

With that in mind, here are five questions surrounding the Chargers ahead of next week.

1. Does the O-line get figured out?

It's no surprise that we're starting here.

Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh wants his team to be physical and stout up front, a mindset that begins with the offensive line.

And while that group certainly has key pieces in place — Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt are perhaps the NFL's top tackle duo — the group struggled as a whole in the playoff game in Houston.

The Chargers signed Mekhi Becton in free agency, a move that will add plenty of beef (Becton is 6-foot-7 and 363 pounds) at right guard.

The focus now is on the interior of the line, primarily at center and left guard.

Zion Johnson, who spent the past three seasons at guard, has worked at center this offseason. So, too, have Bradley Bozeman — the Chargers 2024 starter there — and Andre James, who was an addition in free agency.

Depending on which of those three players wins the starting center job, the other two figure to be in the mix for the left guard gig alongside Trey Pipkins III (the 2024 starter at right guard), Jamaree Salyer and rookie Branson Taylor.

In other words, the Chargers are ready to have an all-out competition among six players for two starting spots.

The good news is that, aside from Taylor, there is plenty of experience among that group as Johnson, Bozeman, James, Pipkins and Salyer have combined to play 386 total NFL games, including 294 starts.

The Chargers certainly don't need to have their starting five figured out by mid-June, but the hope is that a player or two in this group separates a bit in the next few weeks.

2. How do the rookies look?

The Chargers 2025 draft class features nine players, a group headlined by first-round pick Omarion Hampton.

As the intensity picks up this offseason, we'll be keeping an eye on which players successfully adapt to the NFL in Year 1.

It will help, of course, that none of these players will need to be the guy in their respective position rooms.

Hampton will team up with Najee Harris in the running back room to potentially form a strong 1-2 punch in the backfield.

Wide receivers Tre' Harris (second round) and KeAndre Lambert-Smith (fifth round) could provide some juice in the passing game but also have Ladd McConkey, Mike Williams and Quentin Johnston alongside them.

Defensive tackle Jamaree Caldwell and edge rusher Kyle Kennard could carve out rotational roles for themselves while defensive backs RJ Mickens and Trikweze Bridges might be special teamers if they make the roster.

Tight end Oronde Gadsden, meanwhile, joins a room alongside Tyler Conklin, Will Dissly and Tucker Fisk.

All in all, the Chargers will surely count on some of these rookies to be impactful players once the regular season arrives. Just look at what Alt and McConkey did as rookies in 2024.

OTAs are the first step in that process for a successful rookie year.

By the way, if you're looking for an undrafted free agent to watch, keep an eye on running back Raheim "Rocket" Sanders, who could battle for one of the final roster spots.

3. Is Tuli Tuipulotu ready for a starting role?

For the most part, the Chargers edge rusher room will look the same as it did a year ago.

Khalil Mack decided against retirement and is back fro Year 12 while Tuli Tuipulotu and Bud Dupree also return.

With Joey Bosa now in Buffalo, all eyes will be on Tuipulotu to see is he can step up and be a full-time starter in the league.

Tuipulotu tallied 13.0 combined sacks over 34 in his first two seasons, including a team-best 8.5 sacks in 2024.

But Tuipulotu could also likely use bit more consistency in his game as 7.5 of those sacks came in a four-game stretch.

Mack, a future Hall of Famer, is obviously the alpha in this room and was still an elite player at age 33 last year.

If Tuipulotu can take a step as the starting edge rusher opposite Mack, the Bolts could have one of the better pass-rushing duos around.

4. How impactful can Tarheeb Still & Cam Hart be in Year 2?

The Chargers seemingly struck gold in the fifth round last year by adding Still and Hart, a pair of cornerbacks who were selected only three picks apart.

Still was a playmaker in Year 1 with a team-high four interceptions, including a clutch pick-6 to deliver a win in Atlanta.

Hart, meanwhile, provides ample size at 6-2 and 207 pounds and can match up physically with just about any wide receiver on the outside.

Still made 12 starts as a rookie while Hart made six, but there's a chance both players will need to be full-timers in 2025.

The Chargers added veterans Donte Jackson and Benjamin St-Juste in free agency and still have Deane Leonard and Ja'Sir Taylor on the roster.

But a young tandem of Still and Hart could set the tone for this group in Jesse Minter's scheme for years to come, beginning as soon as this season.

5. Who steps up along the D-line?

The Chargers defensive line was among the strong surprises a year ago to help the Bolts lead the NFL in fewest points allowed per game (17.7).

But that group underwent a makeover this offseason as Poona Ford and Morgan Fox departed in free agency while Da'Shawn Hand and Naquan Jones were added as fresh faces.

The Chargers also added Caldwell in the third round as a player who flashed both run-stuffing ability and a knack for getting after the quarterback at multiple college stops.

Teair Tart is back from a season ago and could be a leader in that room. Otito Ogbonnia, Christopher Hinton, Scott Matlock and Justin Eboigbe also return from 2024.

With Minter and defensive line coach Mike Elston in charge of this group, players are in good hands with elite coaches.

If this position group can have a repeat performance in the trenches, the Bolts should have one of the league's better defenses again in 2025.
