The Chargers bolstered the offensive line with the selection of Joe Alt at No. 5 overall.
Many wanted a wide receiver, but Jim Harbaugh stuck to his guns by adding a physically imposing player who will not only keep Justin Herbert upright but improve the ground game.
To get familiar with the newest member of the Bolts, here are some highlights of Alt:

One thing that @BrandonThornNFL talks about when evaluating offensive tackle play is their ability to protect the corner. That is one thing that Joe Alt does consistently at a really high level. Very difficult to beat him to that spot. pic.twitter.com/yIM0tO6hMb
