Chargers remake 2026 NFL Draft with Mesidor pick, Slaughter slide and Burke upgrade

The Los Angeles Chargers entered the 2026 NFL Draft with five picks over three days. They opened by selecting Miami edge rusher Akheem Mesidor at No. 22, then moved down from No. 55 to No. 63 in Round 2 with a Patriots trade to add extra picks in the 4th and 6th rounds. At 63 they drafted Florida center Jake Slaughter (announced as a guard). In Round 3 they traded down again with the Browns for a fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-round package, giving them seven Day 3 picks, two of which were later packaged to move up for offensive tackle Travis Burke. Look for ongoing grades and analysis of each Chargers pick as the draft progresses.
