<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>San Diego's first choice was Melvin Ingram, who plays defensive end. He had a good combine and a great college career. He had nine sacks his senior year, and should help the Chargers stop their opponents.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Another good pick the Chargers had was Kendall Reyes. He plays Defensive Line. I think these rookies will really help them in the future. I can't wait till the season starts to see how these players will do in their first NFL season. Go Chargers!</p>
