Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB
The Chargers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jo'Quavious Marks, 37 picks early at the 153rd pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Simpson.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 12th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
By-the-book stuff, Troy Franklin at pick No. 38 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick44 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They paid sticker price for Chris Braswell in Round 2, Pick 12, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
They jumped the gun on Zach Frazier, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick116 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A reach on Mohamed Kamara in No. 116; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143 Rnd5 Theo Wease
Theo Wease in the 143rd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jo'Quavious Marks
Jo'Quavious Marks at No. 153 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
A quiet steal in the 184th overall pick: Jaylin Simpson for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick227 Rnd7 Marques Cox
Marques Cox at Round 7, Pick 7 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Good price on Bryce Foster in pick 233, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick254 Rnd7 Gabe Hall
A real head-scratcher, Gabe Hall in slot 254 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
