Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Chargers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

Reaching for Nugent left real value on the table behind him. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 28
In slot 31 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Ladd McConkey · WR · rank 34
Ladd McConkey in Round 2, Pick 5 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Kamari Lassiter · CB · rank 41
Kamari Lassiter at pick 38 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 84
They liked Blake Corum enough to skip the value, taking him in the 69th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Mekhi Wingo · DT · rank 108
Mekhi Wingo in No. 105 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Maason Smith · DT · rank 111
By-the-book stuff, Maason Smith at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 136
Jarrian Jones at the 140th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Drake Nugent · C · rank 210
Value said wait; Drake Nugent in pick No. 181 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.1 · Pick 221 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 212
Nice patience on Nathaniel Watson, who had no business lasting to slot 221. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Dominique Hampton · S · rank 234
A conviction pick on Dominique Hampton at Round 7, Pick 5 that the board grades a round light. A minor itch, scratched.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 252
No edge and no loss on LaDarius Henderson in the 253rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
