The 2025 NFL Draft is upon us, and so is your need to be prepared for all of tomorrow’s stars. Dive into our spotlight on Dylan Fairchild, featuring his scouting report, strengths and weaknesses, his recent draft projection, and where all the experts predict he could land.
Dylan Fairchild’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
Dylan Fairchild is a powerful and technically sound offensive lineman with the versatility to excel at guard or tackle. Known for his physicality and aggression, he can at times be over-aggressive, which can hurt his technique and positioning.
Nevertheless, Fairchild’s quick feet and balanced stance make him effective in pass protection, where he handles speed rushers and anchors well against power. He also has a high football IQ and some projected positional flexibility, having been a two-way player in high school.
Fairchild can be a bit stiff at times when redirecting laterally, but as a blocker with solid baseline mobility, power, and strength, as well as 24 starts against SEC competition to his name, he profiles as a respectable middle-round add.
Dylan Fairchild’s NFL Draft Projection
In CSN’s 7-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft from April 12, Fairchild landed in Round 3 with the 102nd overall pick. James Fragoza has this to say:
Dylan Fairchild may not be an unjust adult in the ground game, but he’s reliable in pass protection and can line up at both guard spots if needed.
And in CSN’s recent 3-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft, Brian Burden had this to say about Fairchild’s selection to the Los Angeles Chargers in Round 3 with the 86th pick:
This may be a slight reach, but the Chargers need some help on the interior of the offensive line. The 6’5″, 318-pound Bulldog was a state champion wrestler and has no problem mauling inside at the guard position. He’s comfortable in the trenches and, in this mock, would give Los Angeles a mean road grader ahead of Judkins.
