The Chargers welcomed Joe Alt to Los Angeles on Thursday, and yeah, few locals had him on their draft card. But the Chargers, being reconstructed under new leadership in general manager Joe Hortiz and coach Jim Harbaugh, selected Alt, an All-American left tackle out of Notre Dame, with the NFL draft’s fifth pick. The announcement raised eyebrows with the Chargers’ glaring need at wide receiver.
