2026 Projections
Picked by Chargers
The Chargers selected Mesidor in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 22nd overall.
ANALYSIS
Mesidor (6-foot-3, 259 pounds) turned 25 earlier this April and didn't log any pre-draft athletic testing, but his production at Miami (FL) and West Virginia was strong enough to still project him as an NFL starter. Mesidor logged 12.5 sacks and 17.5 tackles for loss in 15 games last year, and he was a starter immediately upon arriving at West Virginia in 2020. The Chargers likely view Mesidor as their long-term replacement for Khalil Mack.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Goes 15th in Ekholm's mock
Eric Edholm of NFL.com's March 19 mock draft has Mesidor going 15th overall to the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
The Buccaneers haven't been afraid to draft older prospects in years past, and Mesidor would be another one, as he'll turn 25 years old in April. Mesidor had 12.5 sacks for Miami in 2025, helping the Hurricanes reach the College Football Playoff National Championship Game before losing to Indiana.
