What do the Chargers Have in 4th Round Pick Rayshawn Jenkins?

After choosing three consecutive offensive players in the 2017 draft, Los Angeles Chargers finally gave new defensive coordinator Gus Bradley some reinforcements when they picked Miami Safety Rayshawn Jenkins on Day 3. With the depth of the safety position in this year’s draft, it's not surprising the Chargers waited this long to pick one up. The word is that this was very much Bradley’s decision and who he wanted to come in and play the ‘Kam Chancellor role’ in the Bolts defense. Adding to this, after the pick was made Tom Telesco was asked about Jenkins’ role next year which he replied, “Probably some strong safety but he’ll come in a compete for a role”.
