Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesD+ FutureA+
The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Chargers took Jayson Jones at pick No. 256, roughly 64 spots before his name belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Mitchell at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value.
Pick45 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Nice patience on Quinyon Mitchell, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at the 69th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
A wild overpay on Drake Nugent in No. 106, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
They left a pile of value on the table to take LaDarius Henderson this early at pick No. 139. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick142 Rnd5 AJ Barner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for AJ Barner. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the 183rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell in pick 192 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
A swing that ignored the value entirely, J.J. Weaver well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jayson Jones
Jayson Jones at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
