Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Chargers cashed the board's mistake on Cooper Jr.: D+.

The Chargers lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Every board in the league had Van Pran lower, and that gap is the story. Getting Cooper Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In No. 22 they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
No edge and no loss on Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the 37th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick50 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in slot 50 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick69 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A premium they did not need to pay, Sedrick Van Pran a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick86 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Value with a capital V on Ja'Lynn Polk in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
They took Jonah Elliss at par in pick 87, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
No drama and no debate, MarShawn Lloyd went about where he belonged in the 106th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
A tidy little value on Chau Smith-Wade in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick183 Rnd6 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen slid further than he should have, and pick 183 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick213 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at the 213th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in pick No. 223 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Magee at No. 240 squarely in line with his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick256 Rnd7 Ryan Cooper Jr.
Ryan Cooper Jr. at Round 7, Pick 36 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
