The Chargers added another linebacker to the defense. After drafting Drue Tranquill in the fourth round, Los Angeles decided to snag one more in Emeke Egbule in the sixth round with the No. 200 overall selection.
Here are some of the best Twitter reactions to the selection:
Emeke Egbule can also drop back in coverage…great understanding of the passing game.

Hell yes the Chargers know how to get me going. They take Houston LB Emeke Egbule at #200. Can play Sam LB with his athleticism and ability to rush the passer. Played everywhere in the Cougars front 7.

#Chargers add another linebacker in Houston's Emeke Egbule. Nice solid depth addition. I would predict the Chargers would use their 7th rounder on a receiver. They added all their key needs already. #NFLDraft

Houston LB Emeke Egbule is gonna be a pass rushing specialist from the Leo Linebacker position. A definite Gus Bradley pick this one. #NFLDraft

Chargers got a good on in Emeke Egbule. Play him as a SAM linebacker, close to the line of scrimmage and let him thrive.
