    Nearly four months ago, the Chargers got one of the apparent steals of the 2018 NFL draft, snatching up the Florida State safety with the No. 17 overall pick. James had been regarded as one of the top defensive prospects available, a top-10 talent versatile enough to stop the run or drop back into coverage. For one reason or another, he slipped into the second half of the first round.
