Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chargers a B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Chargers spent pick No. 253 on Devin Culp, a name most had 51 spots down the list. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Dixon falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In No. 5 they get a mismatch in the passing game at fair value.
Pick37 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
They did well to land Adonai Mitchell in the 37th pick, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick70 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Malachi Corley at Round 3, Pick 6. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
The board had Brenden Rice higher than pick No. 105, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley at slot 110 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
A reach for Justin Eboigbe in the 140th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick141 Rnd5 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt in the 141st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 6 slot with a little surplus value in Jase McClellan. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick207 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A slide stopped in pick No. 207, with Curtis Jacobs worth more than the price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick225 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at pick 225 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Devin Culp
A wild overpay on Devin Culp in the 253rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
