The Chargers got a later start on signing their 2015 draft picks than most of the other teams in the NFL, but it doesn’t look like it will take them too long to get their full class under contract.

The team announced Wednesday that they have signed four of their five picks. Second-round linebacker Denzel Perryman, third-round cornerback Craig Mager, fifth-round linebacker Kyle Emanuel and sixth-round defensive tackle Darius Philon have all agreed to four-year deals, leaving only first-round running back Melvin Gordon without a contract.

Perryman profiles as a run-stopper on the inside of the defense who will be an asset on early downs.
