San Diego Chargers

Scouts Inc. on 2016 class

1 (3) Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State | Highlights

What he brings: He's the best edge defender and arguably one of the top two prospects in this class. Bosa displays heavy and active hands and possesses excellent core strength, along with the instincts to find the ball and finish plays as a run stopper. While he doesn't have elite quickness or bend, he is a relentless pass rusher who brings strong speed-to-power ability and the versatility to kick inside and cause disruption. He brings a great motor and approach to the game and will instantly upgrade a defensive front.

How he fits: We felt Bosa's best fit was as a DE in a base 4-3 scheme, but he has the size, power and versatility to line up in multiple spots along their 3-4 scheme. His best scenario may be to continue to try and bulk to line up at the 5-technique where he can help improve a 27th-ranked rush defense and provide some pass rush with his power and hands. -- Kevin Weidl


2 (35) Hunter Henry, TE, Arkansas | Highlights

What he brings: The top tight end on our board, Henry is an above-average route runner who knows how to get open, catches the ball well and produces after the catch. He's also fast enough to get down the seam and make defenses pay for biting on play-action. While he's not a powerful blocker, he is an effective positional blocker with the frame to get better.

How he fits: Antonio Gates continues to produce, but he turns 36 in June and age catches up with everyone eventually. In addition, Ladarius Green signed with Pittsburgh and free-agent signing Jeff Cumberland is more of a role player than a potential replacement. Adding Henry, the top tight end our board, gives the Chargers an heir apparent to Gates. -- Steve Muench


3 (66) Max Tuerk, OC, USC | Highlights

What he brings: A team captain and three-year starter, Tuerk lined up at every position along the offensive line at Southern Cal and his football acumen is impressive. He has the quickness, agility and resiliency to develop into an effective starting center in zone-heavy schemes. However, he's not a powerful drive blocker and he is on the lighter side with shorter arms. Tuerk's best fit in the NFL would be at center. In addition, he's coming off a season-ending knee injury.

How he fits: Center Chris Watt missed 11 games with head and shoulder injuries after undergoing offseason ankle surgery in 2015 and he didn't play all that well when he was on the field. Tuerk also has durability concerns as he is coming off a season-ending knee injury, but he has the smarts and athletic ability to quickly develop into an effective starter if he can get -- and stay -- healthy. -- Steve Muench


4 (102) Joshua Perry, ILB, Ohio State | Highlights

What he brings: Perry is an instinctive and physical linebacker who possesses excellent makeup and leadership skills. He has a thick and muscular build with ideal length and good straight-line speed. Perry has some tightness and limitations in space and in coverage. However, he has excellent point-of-attack skills and is a reliable tackler. He could develop into a quality starter as a strongside linebacker in a base 4-3 scheme. -- Kevin Weidl


5 (175) Jatavis Brown, OLB, Akron | Highlights

What he brings: The MAC defensive player of the year, Brown broke Akron's single-season sack record, which he had previously shared with Jason Taylor. He tested well at his pro day, where he ran a 4.42 40-yard dash and benched 225 pounds 33 times. He's a fundamentally sound tackler. He has outstanding range as a run defender. And in addition to his ability to rush the passer, he moves well in coverage. The problem revolves around his frame and position fit, as he weighs just 227 pounds. -- Steve Muench


6 (179) Drew Kaser, PT, Texas A&M | Highlights

What he brings: Kaser has quality length strength and directional skills. He has ability to tighten up his delivery but should develop into a quality starter. -- Kevin Weidl


6 (198) Derek Watt, FB, Wisconsin | Highlights

What he brings: A lighter fullback prospect, Watt needs to get stronger at the point of attack but he's a tough positional blocker for his size and he has the potential to develop into an effective check-down receiver. Plus, he has experience covering kicks and the potential to contribute on special teams.


7 (224) Donavon Clark, OG, Michigan State | Highlights

What he brings: Clark started 18 games at right guard, nine games at right tackle and six games at left tackle at Michigan State. He doesn't have the length to protect the edge at the NFL leve,l but he has the size, strength and enough athletic ability to provide depth at guard and possibly develop into a starter down the road.-- Steve Muench


Mel Kiper's Draft Grade: B-

Kiper: This is a tricky one, because I think they added some really good players, but there were a couple of need areas that largely weren't addressed. Joey Bosa is a great player, and I'm not at all worried about fit -- their coaches told me they were in sub-packages roughly 70 percent of the time last season, and they just added a versatile player who can move all over and be effective. Hunter Henry is the top tight end on my board in an admittedly weak class, and a useful weapon for Philip Rivers, and Max Tuerk could end up starting at center. Joshua Perry is a reasonable value and a potential starter at linebacker -- the guy has great instincts. Jatavis Brown is a favorite of mine (and Todd's) and could develop into a pretty good player, and they got my top punter in Drew Kaser. So, the question: I'm surprised they didn't add an offensive tackle at any point (or two) after the problems of the last few seasons on the O-line. Is the protection going to be any better? They could also use a safety. Pretty good draft overall, with needs the one question.


Todd McShay's favorite pick

Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State (No. 3 pick)

I give the Chargers a lot of credit for forgetting about finding a perfect scheme fit and pulling the trigger on Bosa. He has the size, power and versatility to make an impact all over the place in the Chargers' 3-4 scheme. San Diego also found good value in the second round with the selection of TE Hunter Henry. Standing 6-foot-5 with 4.6 speed, the Arkansas product can stretch the seam for QB Philip Rivers and learn from one of the best ever in Antonio Gates. Another name that stood out for me: fifth-round OLB Jatavis Brown, who fits perfectly with the Chargers. They're looking for another pass-rusher, and he has an explosive burst off the edge. Brown could be one of the steals of the draft.
