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

The Chargers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Myles Cole at Round 7, Pick 3 regardless, 56 picks early. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Ford. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Fair-plus on Quinyon Mitchell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks slipping to No. 77 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick113 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Theo Johnson. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125 Rnd4 Sincere Haynesworth
Sincere Haynesworth in slot 125 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
Taking Darius Robinson in the 139th pick is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
No edge and no loss on Nathan Thomas in the 183rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at Round 6, Pick 38 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick223 Rnd7 Myles Cole
They reached a country mile for Myles Cole at the 223rd pick, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick256 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
A wild overpay on Isaac Guerendo in pick 256, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
