Chargers receive highest draft grade from Mel Kiper Jr.

ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. handed out A’s to only two teams: The Los Angeles Chargers and the New England Patriots (included the players that were acquired in the offseason for picks).

Here’s what Kiper had to say:

“Keenan Allen has played only nine games over the past two seasons, which is why I pegged receiver as the Chargers’ top need. Los Angeles got my top-ranked receiver at No. 7 in Mike Williams, a potential perennial Pro Bowler who can be thrown to even when covered… Cutting D.J. Fluker, guard moved up to a need, and Los Angeles went with two interior linemen on Day 2.
