Chargers Add KeAndre Lambert-Smith, Oronde Gadsden II To Offense
Keandre Lambert-Smith with the 158th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Shortly after, they used the 165th overall pick on Syracuse tight end Oronde Gadsden II. Lambert-Smith spent four seasons at Penn State before transferring to Auburn for his senior season. In 2024, he caught 50 passes for 981 yards and eight touchdowns. He has shown an ability to catch poorly thrown balls, but he lacks game-changing speed and separation. He projects as a depth piece behind Ladd McConkey, Tre Harris, Quentin Johnston, and Mike Williams. Meanwhile, Gadsden is a pass-catching tight end who can perform well in the slot. His large wingspan and athleticism can create mismatches over the middle, allowing him to come down with contested catches. He had 934 yards and seven touchdowns last season, and he should compete with Will Dissly for the No. 2 tight end job behind Tyler Conklin.
