With the 23rd overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers took LB Kenneth Murray of Oklahoma. He has played 93 games, with 5 seasons as a starter. His 73 ledger points compare with about 86 that pick #23 usually produces, or 85% of par. That is above the 40% bust line but short of the 150% mark for a hit, so DraftLedger grades the pick solid value (C).
In the 1990–2019 drafts, 30 other players went 23rd overall. They averaged 83 ledger points, 20% fell below the 40% bust line and 13% reached a hit.
Among the 106 picks in rounds 1–3 of the 2020 draft, Kenneth Murray ranks 41st by value against slot. Among 14 LB picks in those rounds he ranks 8th. The Chargers also drafted Justin Herbert (#6, QB) in the first three rounds that year. The pick was made under Tom Telesco, who ran the Chargers’ drafts from 2013 to 2023.
