COSTA MESA — The Chargers addressed another pressing need when they selected Justin Eboigbe, a defensive tackle from Alabama, in the fourth round of the NFL draft Saturday. They filled voids at offensive tackle, wide receiver and linebacker in the first three rounds of the three-day draft.
Eboigbe had 63 tackles and seven sacks in 14 games, all starts, and was named to the first-team All-Southeastern Conference squad as a fifth-year senior last season. He redshirted in 2022 after a neck injury limited him to only four games. He didn’t miss a start in the 2023 season, however.
The Chargers had six picks on the final day of the draft, including two each in the fifth and seventh rounds. They selected left tackle Joe Alt from Notre Dame in the first round Thursday, and wide receiver Ladd McConkey from Georgia and linebacker Junior Colson from Michigan in the second and third rounds Friday.
