Round 3, No. 69, G Deonte Brown, Alabama
Left guard Forrest Lamp and center Dan Feeney will be free agents after this season and like Bulaga, there’s some durability concerns with right guard Trai Turner, who’s only played in two games this season. Like in 2017, the Chargers elect to go back-to-back selections to address the offensive line.
Brown, the 6-foot-2 and 339 pound guard, is a physically imposing lineman who flourishes in the running game, creating a bunch of space for running backs. Even though he has a squatty frame, he is efficient when working to the second level. The combination of power, physicality and effort are traits that could see him earn starting time early in his career.
