The 2015 NFL Draft is in the books and the San Diego Chargers made one of the biggest ‘splash’ picks of any team in the first round when they traded up two spots in order to select Wisconsin Badgers star Melvin Gordon, the man who led the NCAA in rushing yards last season.

Along with Gordon, the Chargers added four other players that can come in and help their team right away, players that graded out very highly on my board.

Somewhat surprisingly, the Chargers did not address the offensive line, but apparently they feel comfortable enough with what they have they didn’t feel the need to do so. Here’s a recap and ‘grades’ of every pick, though we won’t really know what kind of report card this draft deserved until a few years down the road.
