We took a flyer on Watson in the 7th and he got us a game winning pick 6 against Herbert

I mean...I guess. But Williams in the 4th and Watson in the 7th just seems like your standard "well they can probably at least play special teams" third day pick sort of stuff rather than a concerted effort to deal with LAC.
And McDuffie vs. Williams is a lousy matchup. That said, McDuffie as a Keenan Allen solution may certainly have been something they had in mind. But alternatively you could just say "hey, Ward was a FA and Fenton next year - they needed SOMEBODY to play CB..." which gets back to them worrying more about themselves than LAC.
But yeah, I can see that being a semi-targeted selection.
