The Chargers turned seven picks in the 2020 NFL Draft into six players. Tom Telesco made a very uncharacteristic move to trade back into the first round which cost the team their third-round pick on Friday. For TT and Anthony Lynn, the move was made to secure a future leader on defense after the team had just drafted their quarterback of the future earlier at #6.
Before I get into the meat of this thing, here is the entire draft class and the initial grade I gave each pick right after they were selected:
Round 1, Pick 6: QB Justin Herbert, Oregon - C+
Round 1, Pick 23: LB Kenneth Murray, Oklahoma - B-
Round 4, Pick 112: RB Joshua Kelley, UCLA - C+
Round 5, Pick 151: WR/KR Joe Reed, Virginia - B+
Round 6, Pick 186: S Alohi Gilman, Notre Dame - D+
Round 7, Pick 220: WR K.
