Even after adding both defensive tackle Sebastian Joseph-Day and Austin Johnson in free agency, many believed the Chargers still had a strong chance of selecting Georgia’s Jordan Davis should he have been there at #17.
He never made it that far as he was taken at #13 by the Eagles, but it wasn’t the end of the world for the Chargers who went on to pick a plug-and-play starter in offensive guard Zion Johnson. Even since the draft, the team went on to add yet another defensive lineman in Morgan Fox. That signing made it three new defensive lineman for the Bolts, all of whom should be upgrades over their starting three in 2021.
