The Chargers caught many off guard with their fourth-round selection.
Rather than taking an offensive tackle, wide receiver or cornerback, Los Angeles drafted a running back with former UCLA product Joshua Kelley at No. 112 overall.
Here is a look at some of the reactions to the pick via Twitter:
Just can’t process the rush to draft a third running back in the fourth round of a draft in which you had no third round pick and still need CB, WR, OL, EDGE. It’s a luxury pick for a guy who probably won’t see more than 5-6 touches per game.

– Austin Ekeler
– Justin Jackson
– Joshua KelleyLooks to be a RB by committee for Los Angeles in 2020, all three players have drastically different skill sets compared to each other pic.twitter.com/tlsO11ZfmS

Great news for the Chargers, they will have another top 10 pick next year bc they will be awful this year. No longer bullish on the Bolts. They really drafted a MLB and RB and gave away a pick. Horrible draft

Chargers draft hometown UCLA running back, Joshua Kelley!
What are your thoughts on the Kelley selection?

Anthony Lynn's "Run the Damn Ball" revolution should be fun to watch #Chargers

Well, they took Joshua Kelley earlier than I expected, but I projected him to the #Chargers due to his skillset being a perfect complement to Ekeler. https://t.co/IXT9WNkzRE

Guys, my sweet friend and peer agent @MolllyMack just had her FIRST DRAFT PICK!!! Joshua Kelley to the Chargers in the 4th round. I am SO PROUD OF HER!! She is so deserving of this moment and worked her butt off for it. Go show her some love!! #NFLDRAFT #WomenInSports

At this point, I don't think there's any value in drafting an OT. For me, it was either Prince Tega Wanogho at 112, or skip the position altogether. It's looking increasingly likely that #Chargers will enter 2020 with Trey Pipkins, Sam Tevi and Forrest Lamp as their LT options.
