The Los Angeles Chargers wanted an offensive lineman in the NFL Draft, but they also had a need a receiver.
The Chargers solved both problems. The Chargers took their offensive lineman with the fifth overall pick on Thursday, taking offensive tackle Joe Alt, then made sure they got a good target for Justin Herbert early in the second round.
The Chargers traded up to take Ladd McConkey with the second pick of the second round on Friday night. He’ll immediately help the Chargers replace Keenan Allen, who was traded to the Chicago Bears, and Mike Williams, who was cut in a salary cap move.
