The Chargers could have taken a number of different positions when they were on the board at #79. A deep-threat wide receiver is a big need, as well as help at linebacker and along the interior of the defensive line. However, the Bolts decided to reach for free safety JT Woods out of Baylor.
Immediately, you’re likely asking yourself, “Why did they use a pick on a safety this early?” That’s a very understandable question. They already have Derwin James, Nasir Adderley, Alohi Gilman, and Mark Webb. That’s four whole safeties they’ve drafted over the previous three seasons.
