Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesC FutureA
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Chargers.

The war room fell hard for Sedrick Van Pran, and it showed at Round 2, Pick 5: 52 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Green pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
They talked themselves into Sedrick Van Pran at the 37th pick, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kingsley Suamataia. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick63 Rnd2 Caelen Carson
Value said wait; Caelen Carson in pick 63 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in slot 69 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick84 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Darius Robinson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
A big swing on Leonard Taylor III at slot 94, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
They reached a country mile for Braelon Allen at Round 5, Pick 3, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183 Rnd6 Javon Baker
They took Javon Baker at par in pick No. 183, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick198 Rnd6 Renardo Green
Renardo Green at No. 198 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick223 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They went early on Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 223rd overall pick, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaac Guerendo well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
