Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC FutureA
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Chargers.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Chargers reached some 43 spots for Jordan Jefferson, and value like that does not grow back.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 18 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
By-the-book stuff, Kamari Lassiter at slot 37 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick49 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at pick 49 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick69 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
This one needs a full-page explanation: MarShawn Lloyd in the Round 3 slot, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A reach on Brenden Rice in the 80th pick; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They paid sticker price for Cole Bishop in pick No. 105, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick108 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They reached into another round for Ben Sinnott, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They went early on Blake Fisher in slot 110, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in pick No. 140 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick184 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Value said wait; Drake Nugent in Round 6, Pick 9 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Solomon Byrd. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker in pick 253 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
