Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Chargers.

Everything else got attention, and edge rusher got none. That is a strange way for the Chargers to leave a draft. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Landing Brooks that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The Harrell reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at pick No. 38 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
Nice patience on Jonathon Brooks, who had no business lasting to pick 70. It fills a real need, too.
Pick117 Rnd4 Junior Colson
They took Junior Colson at par in the 117th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick143 Rnd5 Theo Wease
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Theo Wease in slot 143. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
They did well to land Jonah Monheim in the 154th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
The board had Jack Nelson higher than No. 184, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick227 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
A straight-up fair deal on Bryce Foster at Round 7, Pick 7, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tyler Harrell
Tyler Harrell in the 238th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
