Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesB+ FutureA+
The Chargers let Taylor III fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The Chargers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Leonard Taylor III, the No. 112 name on the board, in Round 5, Pick 6. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Dawson Knox pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In slot 28 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Nubin in the Round 2 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
No drama and no debate, Jonathon Brooks went about where he belonged in pick No. 60. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in No. 69 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
A tidy little value on Jacob Cowing in pick 105, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick142 Rnd5 Leonard Taylor III
The board fumbled Leonard Taylor III all the way to the 142nd overall pick, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Fair-plus on Jaylan Ford, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
They read the board right and Jawhar Jordan was the payoff at Round 7, Pick 6. A need, and now a little less of one.
