The Chargers traded up three spots with the Patriots and selected former Georgia wide receiver Ladd McConkey with the No. 34 overall pick.
At 6-foot and 186 pounds, McConkey is a high-quality wideout with great speed, route-running skills and solid hands.
McConkey finished his college career with 119 catches, 1,687 receiving yards and 14 receiving touchdowns. He was also useful as a runner, as he ran for 216 yards and four scores.
Touted as a first-round pick entering the event, McConkey fell out of it due to concerns with a back ailment. He dealt with back and ankle injuries this past season.
Los Angeles had a need at the wide receiver position after the departures of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams. McConkey should contribute right off the bat as long as he stays healthy.
