Kyle Emanuel to San Diego Chargers: Full Draft-Pick Breakdown

With no fourth-round pick in play, the San Diego Chargers had some time on their hands at the start of Day 3. After waiting a little over an hour-and-a-half, they selected North Dakota State product Kyle Emanuel in the fifth round. 

The Skinny

Emanuel comes from humble beginnings, having received no FBS offers out of high school, and he was forced to earn playing time at North Dakota State after redshirting his first year in the program. The 6'3", 255-pounder progressed at a fast clip with the Bisons, earning eight starts his freshman year and 10 as a sophomore.
