The 2020 NFL Draft is officially in the books.

The Chargers made the offensive side of the ball the focal point, while adding a plug-and-play linebacker and safety who should be a special teams ace in Year 1.

How did national writers and analysts feel about Los Angeles’ haul?

A look at the experts’ ratings of the all the Chargers’ selection:

Touchdown Wire’s Doug Farrar: C

“The extent to which you’re on board with the Chargers’ draft strategy hands on whether you’re on board with Justin Herbert as an NFL prospect. I suspected that Herbert would go higher than his game tape would inspire, because he’s a big guy with a big arm, and for some teams, that’s all that’s required. The Chargers now have to deal with Herbert’s remedial field reads, his inaccuracy to the boundary, and his wonkiness when throwing on the run. I didn’t have a first-round grade on Herbert, but one understands which attributes move the needle when it comes to quarterbacks. Oklahoma linebacker Kenneth Murray is a great pick at 23rd overall, and the Chargers got a real steal in seventh-round receiver K.J. Hill out of Ohio State, but this all rests on the decision to take Herbert sixth overall.”

Draft Wire’s Luke Easterling: A

“You win the NFL draft by pairing need and value at every pick, and few teams did that as well as the Chargers did this weekend. It started with Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert at No. 6 overall, and continued when the Bolts made a bold move back into the first round for Oklahoma linebacker Kenneth Murray.

After sitting out the second round, the Chargers made up for lost time with strong value picks the rest of the way. UCLA running back Joshua Kelly gives them solid depth in the backfield, while Virginia’s Joe Reed brings versatility and big-play ability to any spot on offense, as well as the return game.

Notre Dame safety Alohi Gilman and Ohio State wide receiver K.J. Hill had no business still being on the board in the sixth and seventh rounds, respectively, but the Chargers took full advantage. This is a strong class for a team not far removed from the playoffs.”

NFL Media’s Chad Reuter: A

“The Chargers found leaders on offense (Herbert) and defense (Murray) in the first round, which should certainly please Bolts fans. Kelley’s Senior Bowl performance made him an early fourth-round pick. Not because of his talent, but because he showed that his full explosiveness was back after playing through injury as a senior. Reed is known for his return work, and rightly so. But I think he’ll be a nice No. 3 receiver as well. Gilman’s a solid player who should become a good special teams contributor. Hill was such a strong performer for the Buckeyes, but lacks great athleticism; he could also serve as a solid No. 3 for L.A. It will be interesting to see how the Chargers further improve their offensive line after not investing a single pick up front.”

New York Post’s Ryan Dunleavy: B

“Herbert is the new face of a franchise trying to build a fan base. The Chargers gave up their second- and third-rounders to move up for Murray at No. 23. Worth it.”

SB Nation’s Dan Kadar: B-

“What you think of the Chargers’ draft begins and ends with what you think about quarterback Justin Herbert. Instead of trading up to take Tua Tagovailoa, the Chargers held at No. 6 and got Herbert. He’ll be relied upon to replace Philip Rivers and be the face of the franchise. No pressure.

The Chargers jumped back into the first round for linebacker Kenneth Murray at No. 23 overall. After releasing Thomas Davis, getting a quality linebacker was a must for the Chargers. Murray has range and power, so he should be an asset against the run. He only adds to a loaded Los Angeles defense.

The major flaw in this class is the lack of an offensive tackle. Signing Bryan Bulaga this offseason was fine. But Sam Tevi struggled last season on the right side.”

Rotoworld’s Hayden Winks: D

“I’m conflicted with the Herbert pick. On one hand, he plays the most valuable position and has high-level tools including mobility, but he also lacks the accuracy and decision-making of the top quarterback prospects. He profiles as an average starter in my opinion — getting to play with all of the Chargers’ weapons raises his ceiling and floor — but I have to ding the pick because they were in striking distance of drafting Tua Tagovailoa, who by every measure is in a tier above Herbert. Getting Tua with the third pick was a better alternative… The Chargers traded their starting left tackle for a guard this offseason, and then drafted a quarterback at No. 6 who plays much better in a clean pocket than while under pressure. When they traded up, I thought it was going to be for an offensive tackle (Ezra Cleveland), but they instead draft a linebacker when the defense is already loaded with talent. Murray is going to be a quality starter. He’s just not a true difference maker and didn’t fill the biggest need on the roster (LT), which went completely unaddressed the entire draft… Kelley will operate as the 1b to Austin Ekeler in the Chargers’ never-ending committee backfield. He was a productive runner at UCLA (1,000+ yards twice) and has enough speed (4.49 forty) to win that 5-12 touch role as a rookie. He’s a late-round handcuff and could even be a goal-line vulture.”

ESPN’s Mel Kiper: B

Coach Anthony Lynn and general manager Tom Telesco have said all the right things about the quarterback position since they decided to part ways with Philip Rivers, who started 224 consecutive games for the Chargers from 2006 through 2019. They were happy with Tyrod Taylor, and Taylor was the front-runner to be the 2020 starter. No one really was quite sure if they would take a quarterback at No. 6. They needed an offensive tackle, but would they really pass on Justin Herbert or Tua Tagovailoa there?

The answer turned out to be no, and the 6-foot-6 Herbert can now become the face of the franchise, though it might not be immediately. After an inconsistent 2019 season, Herbert nailed the pre-draft process, and there were several teams that had him rated above Tagovailoa. He’s a big-time physical talent who could flourish in an L.A. offense that already has solid weapons. I’m a fan of what he can do when he gets coached up, and so I like this pick for the long term.

The Chargers also chose to move up in the first round, trading away both of their Day 2 picks to get Kenneth Murray (23), a run-and-hit middle linebacker who should slot right in as the starter. They also added help at running back on Day 3, taking Joshua Kelley (112), who could play the Melvin Gordon role next to Austin Ekeler, who is likely to get more snaps this season. I had down safety Alohi Gilman (186) as more likely to be a special-teams contributor, but he could play in sub packages. K.J. Hill (220) is a dart throw on a potential slot target.

For a team that went 5-11, the Chargers acted like a team that was only two players away from a title on Thursday, but I really like both of their first-rounders. L.A. has some talent on both sides of the ball, and it could challenge in the AFC wild-card race in 2020. There’s still a hole at left tackle, but maybe the Chargers can find a veteran free agent to plug in there for a year.
