Chargers' Nick Barrett: Snared by Chargers
The Chargers selected Barrett in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 145th overall.
Barrett doesn't have a long list of production to his name at South Carolina, but he did well in his lone season as a starter for the Gamecocks in 2025, racking up 42 tackles and 2.0 sacks. He sports above-average arm length and is pretty athletic for his size, but he's a bit raw on the pass rush front. Barrett will provide some depth on the defensive line for the Chargers and might fit in better as a defensive end in the 3-4 scheme.

Chargers' Genesis Smith: Added by Bolts
The Chargers selected Smith in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 131st overall.
Smith (6-foot-2, 202 pounds) started the final two seasons of his three years at Arizona and stands to provide RJ Mickens with immediate competition for rotational snaps at safety behind Elijah Molden, Derwin James and Tony Jefferson. The 21-year-old Smith plays fast enough to provide a wide range of coverage but will need to develop into a more physical and consistent tackler in order to fit the bill as a potential starter at the NFL level.

Chargers' Travis Burke: Taken by Chargers
The Chargers selected Burke in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 117th overall.
Burke started at right tackle in 2023 and 2024 with Florida International before transitioning to left tackle in 2025, when he transferred to Memphis. The move paid off for him, as he was named to the All-ACC First-Team in 2025 despite missing the last two games of the season due to a lower-body injury. Burke is a gigantic addition to the Chargers with a towering 6-foot-9, 325-pound frame, and while that comes with leverage issues, he has better movement than expected for his size. Burke's versatility to play at both left and right tackle is a big boost to the team's offensive line, given that Rashawn Slater was sidelined for the entire 2025 season due to a ruptured patella tendon and with Joe Alt missing the second half of last year because of a high-ankle sprain.

Chargers' Brenen Thompson: Drafted by Chargers
The Chargers selected Thompson in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 105th overall.
Thompson is a speedster who put up eye-popping numbers in Jeff Lebby's offense at Mississippi State in 2025, racking up 57 grabs for 1,054 yards and six touchdowns. He's undersized at 5-foot-9, 166 pounds, however, he possesses blazing speed, posting a 4.26 40-time at the NFL Combine, which isn't surprising given his track background. The Chargers already have a trio of impressive receivers in Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris, but Thompson could slot in behind that group and see the field in the slot if McConkey needs a breather or misses any time.

Chargers' Jake Slaughter: Selected by Chargers
The Chargers selected Slaughter in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 63rd overall.
Slaughter (6-foot-5, 303 pounds) could probably stand to add a little more bulk, both because his height outranks his weight at the position (88th versus 49th percentiles, according to Mockdraftable), and because he has plus athleticism to spare if adding weight slows him down at all. He logged a 5.1-second 40-yard dash, 32.5-inch vertical and 110-inch broad jump at the combine, all of which are strong marks for an interior lineman. Nick Saban declared the former Florida standout his favorite center in the draft, but Slaughter might more so work at guard given that the Chargers signed Tyler Biadasz in free agency. With a little injury luck, the Chargers should have a good offensive line across the board.

Chargers' Akheem Mesidor: Picked by Chargers
The Chargers selected Mesidor in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 22nd overall.
Mesidor (6-foot-3, 259 pounds) turned 25 earlier this April and didn't log any pre-draft athletic testing, but his production at Miami (FL) and West Virginia was strong enough to still project him as an NFL starter. Mesidor logged 12.5 sacks and 17.5 tackles for loss in 15 games last year, and he was a starter immediately upon arriving at West Virginia in 2020. The Chargers likely view Mesidor as their long-term replacement for Khalil Mack.

Chargers' Joe Alt: Present for OTAs
Alt (ankle) was present for the Chargers' offseason program Monday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Alt suffered a season-ending ankle injury in the Chargers' Week 9 win over the Titans and was unable to return to the field for the rest of the 2025 season. The star right tackle entering 2026 as a healthy practice participant is great news for quarterback Justin Herbert and the Chargers offensive line, who struggled greatly late in the year due to lack of depth amidst many injuries.
