11. Los Angeles Chargers 2020 NFL Draft
– BOOM. Of course they’re not going to connect on all six picks, but at least there’s reasonable justification that they nailed it with the right call at the right time at each and every spot. They didn’t get a corner or any help for the offensive line, but there’s no beef whatsoever with any of the picks.

– The knock on Justin Herbert is that he’s chill. Whatever. He’s got better tools than Joe Burrow and the all-around talent to grow into the job as the quarterback the franchise needs to build around. You want the vocal leader who’ll be the heart-and-soul type? That’s what LB Kenneth Murray is for as a great get at the 23.
– There’s no real reach with any of the picks. It’s asking a lot for Joe Reed and/or KJ Hill to be special as later round receiver gets, but they both make sense as reliable targets to round out the corps.
Best Value Pick: S Alohi Gilman, Notre Dame (6th)
Biggest Reach: WR Joe Reed, Virginia (5th)
Late Flier That Could Work: WR KJ Hill, Ohio State (7th)
