Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Chargers reached some 66 spots for AJ Barner, and value like that does not grow back. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Suamataia. The Colson pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots still on the board.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In pick No. 5 they get a red-zone target to build around. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They paid up for Edgerrin Cooper at pick 37 when waiting would have done the job. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick75 Rnd3 Junior Colson
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 75 on Junior Colson with interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots unsolved.
Pick105 Rnd4 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
A tidy little value on Braelon Allen in slot 110, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 Kingsley Suamataia
Taking Kingsley Suamataia in Round 4, Pick 22 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick140 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
This one needs a full-page explanation: Khristian Boyd in slot 140, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Trente Jones
They went early on Trente Jones in pick 181, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
They took Jalen Coker at par in pick No. 253, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
