Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in No. 187 lands the Chargers a B+, McGlothern and all.

The Chargers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

McGlothern falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The cost of the Guerendo reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
By-the-book stuff, Laiatu Latu at pick 11 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 27 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at slot 37 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
They did well to land Bralen Trice in the 69th pick, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
No edge and no loss on Brenden Rice in the 90th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in Round 4, Pick 5 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
They paid sticker price for Mekhi Wingo in Round 4, Pick 9, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in the 110th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick140 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
Value with a capital V on Chau Smith-Wade in No. 140, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick181 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick187 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Taking Dwight McGlothern in the 187th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
You do not let a linebacker like Jaylan Ford reach slot 225 and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jaylan Ford in pick 226, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick253 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 253 is the definition of value, full stop. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
