SAN DIEGO (AP) -- The San Diego Chargers got a quarterback in the NFL draft after all.

The Chargers took Purdue's Drew Brees leading off the second round Saturday, 31 picks after the Atlanta Falcons took Michael Vick with the opening selection they obtained in a trade with San Diego on Friday.

Now the Chargers lead the NFL in something other than losses -- short quarterbacks. Starter Doug Flutie and former CFL star Dave ****enson are 5-11, and Brees is listed at a fraction under 6-0.
