Chargers add another Buckeye in LB Joshua Perry

SAN DIEGO -- Joey Bosa now has a familiar face as part of his draft class. The San Diego Chargers selected a second Ohio State product, inside linebacker Joshua Perry, with the No. 102 pick in the fourth round. With only three inside linebackers currently on the roster, the position was an area of need the Chargers looked to fill in the final day of the draft.

My take: The Chargers released veteran inside linebackers Donald Butler and Kavell Conner at the onset of free agency, so Perry should have an opportunity to earn a backup job behind starters Manti Te’o and Denzel Perryman.
