Matt Miller, ESPN<\/a> \u2013 WR Jaylin Noel, Iowa State<\/p>\n

Last updated: April 24, 2025<\/p>\n

It’s back-to-back picks on offense as the Chargers push the need at edge rusher to another round and could instead add speed to the receiver room with Noel. He might not have elite size (5-foot-10, 194 pounds) but his ability to stretch the field vertically and win with quickness off the line of scrimmage would open up the Chargers’ scheme.<\/p>\n

PFF Staff, Pro Football Focus<\/a> \u2013 TE Elijah Arroyo, Miami<\/p>\n

Last updated: April 24, 2025<\/p>\n

Arroyo is a receiving tight end through and through who can line up as a wingback and in the slot. An NFL team hoping for a consistent blocker will be disappointed, though. If given a chance to show off his all-around athleticism, he can be a contributor as a big slot type.<\/p>\n

Third round (No. 86): WR Jack Bech, TCU<\/p>\n

Bech, at his best, has the makings of an impact WR2 at the NFL level, but he needs to continue to grow to win consistently in his releases against press and in his routes. His sure hands and playmaker mentality won’t be an issue.<\/p>\n

Daniel Flick, Sports Illustrated<\/a> \u2013 WR Jaylin Noel, Iowa State<\/p>\n

Undersized but fast, fluid and a quality punt returner, Noel gives the Chargers another weapon next to Ladd McConkey.<\/p>\n

Third round (No. 86): G Wyatt Milum, West Virginia<\/p>\n

Nick Baumgardner, The Athletic<\/a> \u2013 EDGE Landon Jackson, Arkansas<\/p>\n

Last updated: April 25, 2025<\/p>\n

The Chargers could go tight end or defensive tackle at this spot. But edge is a need, and Jackson \u2014 a 6-6, 264-pounder with speed and length \u2014 can be an edge setter or pass rusher with the ability to drop and cover for Jesse Minter.<\/p>\n

Third round (No. 86): TE Harold Fannin, Jr.<\/p>\n

Eric Edholm, NFL.com<\/a> \u2013 DT Darius Alexander, Toledo<\/p>\n

Last updated: April 25, 2025<\/p>\n

The Chargers still need some muscle inside, and the mature Alexander would fit well with their aggressive style of defense.<\/p>\n

Third round (No. 86): WR Jalen Royals, Utah State<\/p>\n

Chris Trapasso, CBS Sports<\/a> \u2013 EDGE Princely Umanmielen, Ole Miss<\/p>\n

Last updated: April 24, 2025<\/p>\n

Umanmielen is a battle-tested SEC rusher who’ll boost the Chargers ability to create pressure.<\/p>\n
