The first round of the 2020 NFL draft is in the books. The Kansas City Chiefs selected running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire with the 32nd and final pick of the first round. Let’s take a look at how the rest of the AFC West fared and the many names Chiefs fans be hearing this fall.
Los Angeles Chargers
Pick No. 6: Oregon QB Justin Herbert
The Chargers have moved on from 16 seasons of Phillip Rivers in a hurry with the selection of Herbert. The 6-foot-6, 236-pound Herbert finished his senior season at Oregon with 3,471 passing yards and 32 passing touchdowns, culminating in by being named offensive MVP of the Rose Bowl. He will probably learn behind veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor during his rookie season but expect Taylor to be on a short leash.
Pick No. 23: Oklahoma LB Kenneth Murray
Murray is a three-down linebacker that can cover a field with plenty of energy. The combination of speed and playmaking ability made him worth the Chargers trading their only Day 2 picks to the New England Patriots. Murray collected 17 tackles for loss and four sacks as well as four pass breakups in 14 starts in 2019 with the Sooners.
