Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jasheen Davis in the Round 6 slot, a good 132 spots before the room expected him.

The Higgins value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 19th overall pick they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren slid further than he should have, and pick 53 is lovely value for the tight end. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Deone Walker at Round 3, Pick 20. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tommi Hill
A straight-up fair deal on Tommi Hill at No. 120, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick156 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in slot 156 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis in pick No. 178 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at slot 195 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick208 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at pick 208 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at No. 213 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick222 Rnd7 Xzavier Henderson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Xzavier Henderson in the 222nd pick, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jamaree Caldwell this early at pick No. 252. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
