Los Angeles Chargers

The phones sank the Chargers this weekend: C.

Value C+

Future A

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Drake Nugent at pick 106, a reach of 44 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.19 · Pick 19 · Byron Murphy II · DL · rank 20
In pick No. 19 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
Tyler Guyton in slot 37 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 53
Kingsley Suamataia at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 72
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Blake Corum. It fills a real need, too.
R3.19 · Pick 83 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 80
A clean, defensible pick in No. 83 with a little surplus value in Mike Sainristil. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 120
Value said wait; Malik Washington in the 101st overall pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Drake Nugent · C · rank 150
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Drake Nugent well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Zion Tupuola-Fetui · DE-EDGE · rank 175
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at No. 139 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 183
By-the-book stuff, Jaylan Ford at the 183rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Daequan Hardy · CB · rank 241
Daequan Hardy in the 223rd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.36 · Pick 256 · Trey Wedig · OT · rank 292
A real head-scratcher, Trey Wedig in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
