McConkey was open all afternoon and helped the Chargers maintain what ended up being a 40-7 blowout win. On the afternoon McConkey hauled in 8 catches, for 94 yards, and a paid of explosive touchdowns. McConkey proved to be far too much to handle for any defensive back on New England’s roster as he was open on any given play.

The Patriots were within reach of drafting him with the No. 34 overall pick, but they opted to trade that pick to the Chargers, who moved up to take him instead. Meanwhile, the Patriots moved down to No. 37 and used that pick on Ja’Lynn Polk.

The Patriots' decision to trade the pick used to select Ladd McConkey and draft Ja'Lynn Polk has not aged well.
