Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Chargers let Jones fall into their laps, and walked away with a D+.

Somebody took the Chargers to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Jones falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
A slide stopped in the 37th pick, with Amarius Mims worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Max Melton
A tidy little value on Max Melton in pick No. 69, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Fair-plus on Brandon Dorlus, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
Somehow Jaylen Wright was still sitting there in slot 104, and they pounced on premier running back value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
No edge and no loss on Mekhi Wingo in pick 106; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd5 Marcus Harris
Marcus Harris at the 139th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
They read the board right and Luke McCaffrey was the payoff at No. 182. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jarrian Jones
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 183 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick223 Rnd7 Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman at slot 223 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick256 Rnd7 KT Leveston
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, KT Leveston in Round 7, Pick 36, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
