With the 2024 NFL Draft underway, it’s time to hand out some instant grades, as we’ll do all night for every pick of the first round on Thursday night — you can find our grades here.
But if you’re wondering specifically about your team’s pick and how our Christian D’Andrea and Robert Zeglinski graded them? You’ve come to the right place.
Here’s their take on Joe Alt:
Jim Harbaugh’s rebuild only gets off to a moderately weird start! Standing at a listed 6-foot-9, 321 pounds, Alt is a monster of a human being. He has incredible balance paving running lanes and is quite fluid as a pass protector for someone of his stature. With Rashawn Slater already in the fold, the Chargers very well might have a young All-Pro tackle duo on their hands.
Grade: A
