The San Diego Chargers have their entire draft class under contract.

San Diego signed first-round pick Melvin Gordon to a four-year contract on Thursday, according to Josina Anderson of ESPN.

The Chargers traded up to take Gordon with the 15th-overall pick and made him the second running back taken in the first round. The Wisconsin product ran for more than 2,500 yards and a whopping 29 touchdowns in his final year with the Badgers.

Expect Gordon to be featured heavily in San Diego's attack as a rookie with Ryan Mathews no longer a Charger.
