Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
Nobody dealt better than the Chargers this weekend: B+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Chargers shredded theirs for Theo Johnson. He came off 40 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

The Chargers paired the rookies with proven help, Josh Jacobs leading the way. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
Fair-plus on Dallas Turner, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick37 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
They took Chop Robinson at par in slot 37, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick44 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 12 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at the 57th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Roman Wilson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at pick 92 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick105 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A wild overpay on Theo Johnson in No. 105, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick142 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Javon Foster at pick 142 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick183 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
A tidy little value on Sam Hartman in pick No. 183, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele in Round 7, Pick 6 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
