The LA Chargers traded back into the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, trading the team’s third-round pick to move up from the 37th overall selection in the second round to the 23rd overall selection in the first round.
With that pick, the Chargers selected inside linebacker Kenneth Murray. Murray does not fit the previous Chargers mold of being a coverage linebacker but he gives the team the one thing it has seemingly been missing for quite some time: a legitimate run-stuffing linebacker.
It was exciting for the LA Chargers to have two first-round picks and prior to the draft, we were building up the recent history of the sixth overall selection as well as the history of quarterbacks taken sixth.
