Los Angeles Chargers

More right than wrong for the Chargers, and a B+ to prove it.

The tape said wait; the Chargers did not. Jack Westover went at Round 7, Pick 36, a good 65 picks before the board was ready. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Landing McCaffrey that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The Larry Ogunjobi deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.20 · Pick 20 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 19
Quinyon Mitchell in the Round 1 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 47
A premium they did not need to pay, Kris Jenkins a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Zach Frazier · C · rank 61
A reach for Zach Frazier in Round 2, Pick 19; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 75
They took Calen Bullock at par in pick 69, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.20 · Pick 84 · Leonard Taylor III · DL · rank 100
They paid a round early for Leonard Taylor III in the 84th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 109
Braelon Allen in pick No. 106 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 159
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mason McCormick in No. 139, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 165
Luke McCaffrey in pick 183 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Jalen Coker · WR · rank 259
Jalen Coker in slot 223 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.36 · Pick 256 · Jack Westover · TE · rank 321
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jack Westover. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
