The first round of the 2017 NFL Draft is complete.
Wide receiver wasn’t the biggest need, but the Chargers got a good player in Clemson’s Mike Williams. If you take into account the amount of injuries No.1 wideout Keenan Allen has suffered over the past few years, the underwhelming (and injury-riddled) performance of 2016 free-agent acquisition Travis Benjamin, as well as Dontrelle Inman being signed on for just one more season, it made sense to add another playmaker at the position.
Passing up quality defensive playmakers at No. 7 was worrisome, especially since the Chargers need safety and defensive line help, but the gamble paid off considering there’s a ton of talent left on the board at those positions.
