COSTA MESA, Calif. -- After an offseason during which they parted ways with much of their offensive talent, the Los Angeles Chargers have added a new receiver for Justin Herbert.
The Chargers traded up three spots Friday in the second round to select Georgia receiver Ladd McConkey.
At 6 feet, 186 pounds, McConkey ran a 4.39 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine and had 1,687 yards and 14 touchdowns over his three years at Georgia.
After the Chargers selected Quentin Johnston with the 21st pick last year, it's the second time in the common draft era that they have taken a wide receiver in the top two rounds in consecutive years.
