Chargers "came up one pick short" in drafting Brown [San Diego Union-Tribune]

[Keith]

Wow... it's not 100% clear that the Chargers would have taken Duane Brown at #27, but they seemed to be very, very interested in doing so nonetheless.

Funny that the Chargers finally got a tackle with their final pick. They had been stymied from starting off the draft with one when an unprecedented eight tackles were selected before they picked at No. 27.

“We came up one pick short,” said Turner, who along with the rest of the Chargers brass watched Houston trade into the 26th spot and take tackle Duane Brown of Virginia Tech.
