Team needs

A quarterback to replace Phillip Rivers, a left tackle to replace Russell Okung and a running back to replace Melvin Gordon.

Otherwise, the Chargers enjoy a pretty deep roster.

No. 6: Justin Herbert, Quarterback, Oregon
No. 23: Kenneth Murray, Linebacker, Oklahoma
No. 112: Joshua Kelley, Running Back, UCLA
No. 151: Joe Reed, Wide Receiver/Kick Returner, Virginia
No. 186: Alohi Gilman, Safety, Notre Dame
No. 220: K.J. Hill, Wide Receiver, Ohio State

Draft review

I actually like this NFL Draft class, and the Chargers got some decent picks around Justin Herbert, but I really don’t like the Kenneth Murray selection.

While the pick gives the Chargers another young and talented linebacker, I cannot fathom why they would trade up to grab him instead of staying put grabbing a tackle like Josh Jones.

Murray is fine as a prospect, but this was a puzzling decision that didn’t help the Chargers.

On the plus side, I like the other weapons around Herbert. K.J. Hill was a massive steal this late, he should have gone closer to No. 120 instead of No. 220.

I hate the decision to trade for Murray and the grade reflects that, but I did like the class otherwise.
