Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureA
The Chargers let Simpson fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Jaylin Simpson sat on the board until pick No. 181, and the Chargers did not need to be asked twice.

If Reed pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

With tight end and offensive lineman unsolved, spending premium capital on OLB-EDGE is the choice that costs them.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick No. 18 they get juice off the edge, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in Round 2, Pick 5 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick54 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
No edge and no loss on Xavier Worthy in slot 54; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at the 69th pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick97 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
They took MarShawn Lloyd at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at the 110th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
Of all the spots to shop, they chose OLB-EDGE. Javon Solomon in No. 115 leaves tight end and offensive lineman for later.
Pick140 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in pick 140 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Circle this one: Jaylin Simpson at pick 181 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Nice patience on Jordan Jefferson, who had no business lasting to pick No. 194. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick208 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Curtis Jacobs in the Round 6 slot. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
Steal is underselling it; Jaylan Ford at No. 225 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick253 Rnd7 Austin Reed
Austin Reed at slot 253 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
