Los Angeles Chargers

Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Chargers.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Chargers would have aced it. Matthew Jones at No. 225 is 46 spots clear of where he belonged.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Ulofoshio value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.19 · Pick 19 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 26
In the 19th pick they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Ladd McConkey · WR · rank 34
Ladd McConkey at pick 37 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.20 · Pick 52 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 56
By-the-book stuff, Kingsley Suamataia at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 74
Sedrick Van Pran in the 69th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.19 · Pick 83 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 124
They left a pile of value on the table to take Theo Johnson this early at Round 3, Pick 19. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Audric Estime · RB · rank 105
No edge and no loss on Audric Estime in slot 105; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 132
Christian Jones in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 146
Mason McCormick in pick No. 140 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Trente Jones · OT · rank 194
A reach for Trente Jones in the 181st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
R6.38 · Pick 213 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 216
Garret Greenfield at the 213th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 271
Matthew Jones at Round 7, Pick 5 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 236
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick 253 is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
