GM Joe Hortiz and HC Jim Harbaugh put their stamp on the Chargers in their first season by fortifying the trenches with the consensus top OT in Notre Dame's Joe Alt. Alt was a three-year starter with 33 starts at left tackle, though he'll project to right tackle with Rashawn Slater as an incumbent on the left side.
Over the past two seasons, Alt has allowed just one sack and 13 pressures over 774 pass block reps. He's been equally impressive in the run game, posting elite run block grades each of the last two years with a blown block rate of 0.9% on running plays in 2023. Alt, at 21 years old with a RAS of 9.93, is the rare combination of both high floor and high ceiling. Alt is a blue-chip prospect that should help establish a physical identity in the run game while providing immediate high-level pass protection for Justin Herbert.
Grade: A+

2024 Draft Trade
The Chargers do get a weapon, trading up three spots to select the quick, productive, and technically-sound receiver Ladd McConkey. There's a lot to like about him playing with Justin Herbert; McConkey can win deep, get open over the middle, and make guys miss, giving Los Angeles true WR1 potential. Turns out Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman value receivers after all -- they got the 5th best one, according to our big board. Grade: A

Reach/Value (R/V) Explained
The difference between where a player is selected in the NFL draft versus where the player was listed on the final Drafttek Big Board for the season in question.Example: A player who was listed at #50 on the Big Board and was selected at #35 will be a "Reach" of -15. Alternately, a player listed at #35 on the Big Board who was selected at #50 is a +15 "Value".
Simply put: a positive number is a Value pick, a negative number is a Reach.
