Round 2, No. 40, OT Prince Tega Wanogho, Auburn
The right tackle position is still an area of concern, and the Chargers will have to think about finding a plug-and-play guy this offseason. Luckily, this offensive tackle class is loaded, so they won’t have to reach on one in Round 1, and can find their future franchise quarterback first.
Wanogho left Nigeria when he was 16 years old with NBA dreams, but he made an impact playing high school football. His dominant play in the SEC has not gone unnoticed by NFL evaluators and that’s why he’s being touted as a top-50 selection.
Wanogho, the 6-foot-7 and 305 pound offensive tackle, is still raw, given the fact that he’s been playing football for only five years. But he is athletically gifted and he possesses the foundational traits to develop into a solid starting tackle at the next level in Year 1.
