Many early mock drafts had this move happening, but most of the more recent mocks had the Chargers using the pick for a defender. Safety Jamal Adams went right before the Chargers went on the clock to the New York Jets, but the team still passed on fellow safety prospect Malik Hooker.
Instead, general manager Tom Telesco chose to give Philip Rivers another weapon in the passing game to team with Keenan Allen, Tyrell Williams, Travis Benjamin, Antonio Gates and Hunter Henry.
Let’s take a look at some reactions to this pick from Twitter.
I don't like this pick for the #Chargers.
