2016 NFL draft: Pick-by-pick grades and analysis of Round 1 - Steve Palazzolo
There was little hype surrounding Bosa and the Chargers, but San Diego nets the top player on our draft board. He’s a classic 4-3 defensive end, but he’ll play 3-4 outside linebacker for the Chargers. He’s been our top-graded edge defender the last two seasons, posting the top grade against the run and topping the pass rush rankings in 2015. He doesn’t have the look of some of the other top edge rushers in the league, but he wins with his hands and can be a disruptive presence on the edge.

Chargers go right direction with Bosa - Kevin Acee (UT$)
The Chargers plan to play Bosa at defensive end, which is what he played at Ohio State. The Buckeyes played a 4-3 defense, and Bosa was projected by most observers to play outside linebacker in the 3-4 front the Chargers run as their base defense.
