NFL Exec Praises Jim Harbaugh, Chargers for 'Slam Dunk' Joe Alt Draft Pick
One anonymous executive complimented the Los Angeles Chargers' decision to use the No. 5 pick in the 2024 NFL draft on former Notre Dame left tackle Joe Alt.
"Joe Alt was a slam dunk pick," the executive told Mike Sando of The Athletic. "People wanted to make them pick receivers, but trading back up to get Ladd McConkey, who is maybe the best route runner in the draft, was cool. I think they nailed this first draft, didn't try to do too much, just did a nice job hitting doubles. They got good players with a path to playing."
