Los Angeles passed on getting Justin Herbert a receiver to select a right tackle.
and had a chance to fill their biggest need at wideout with two elite players on the board. Instead, they swerved, selecting Notre Dame offensive tackle Joe Alt . It was a puzzling decision, but not shocking if you know anything about new head coach Jim Harbaugh .
The draft board fell well for the Chargers as LSU's Malik Nabers and Washington's Rome Odunze were still available when they got on the clock. Both are viewed as high-ceiling difference-makers at wide receiver. Instead, Harbaugh and rookie general manager Joe Hortiz selected Alt, widely regarded as the top left tackle in the draft. There's just one problem: the Chargers already have an All-Pro caliber left tackle.
None of this is to say Alt will be bad. In fact, he's projected to be a really good player. But the draft isn't just about adding talent, it's also about filling needs. Tackle wasn't the Chargers' biggest need, wide receiver was.
