The Chargers made a second trade on day two of the NFL draft and their second of the day completely takes them out of the third round, meaning their done with only one pick made on Friday (Florida center Jake Slaughter).
Los Angeles will now enter the final day of the draft with seven total picks: #105, #123, #131, #145, #202, #204, #206. That’s three picks in the fourth round, one pick in the fifth, and three picks in the sixth.
General manager
Joe Hortiz has done an excellent job of finding instant contributors during the final day of the draft and it looks like he’s going to have plenty of ammo to do it for the third year in a row. Since joining the Chargers, Hortiz has found cornerbacks Tarheeb Still and Cam Hart, tight end Oronde Gadsden II, safety R.J. Mickens, and Justin Eboigbe all in the final four rounds of the draft.
Now, after entering the draft with just five total picks, the Chargers will have nine as things stand now. With an entire day left, the Bolts could utilize their added resources to make more deals to come up or down, so don’t be surprised if they continue their active draft strategy.
