Los Angeles Chargers

Best value of the weekend goes to the Chargers for McGlothern: A-.

by Kanaworms · 2024 NFL Draft · 14 picks · 5 steals · 2 reaches
Value B
Need B
Trades A+
Future A+

The Chargers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Landing McGlothern that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jackson Powers-Johnson and all.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.28 · Pick 28 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 32
In pick 28 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 31
Nice patience on Adonai Mitchell, who had no business lasting to the 39th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 50 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 61
They let Kingsley Suamataia come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 100
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Hart. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Jonah Elliss · DE-EDGE · rank 88
Jonah Elliss is a better player than No. 105 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Ray Davis · RB · rank 109
They took Ray Davis at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
Johnny Wilson at pick 120 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 133
A tidy little value on Mohamed Kamara in slot 140, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.30 · Pick 166 · Khristian Boyd · DL-EDGE · rank 178
Khristian Boyd in the 166th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 161
Dwight McGlothern at pick No. 181 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.19 · Pick 194 · Cornelius Johnson · WR · rank 188
Cornelius Johnson in Round 6, Pick 19 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 205
Jaylan Ford in the 225th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 267
They liked Trey Taylor enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 253. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
