Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureA
The Chargers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Nobody else had Will Putnam anywhere near No. 253. The Chargers did, by 86 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Johnson. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
The board had Rome Odunze higher than Round 1, Pick 22, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick37 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Nice patience on Amarius Mims, who had no business lasting to No. 37. It fills a real need, too.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in pick 47 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick50 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey at slot 50 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Blake Corum
They paid up for Blake Corum at the Round 3 slot when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dominick Puni in pick No. 105. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in the 110th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120 Rnd4 AJ Barner
A real head-scratcher, AJ Barner in slot 120 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140 Rnd5 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in pick 140 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161 Rnd5 Christian Jones
The board fumbled Christian Jones all the way to pick No. 161, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Trente Jones at the 181st overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
They barely believed it either: Cornelius Johnson still on the board at the Round 7 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253 Rnd7 Will Putnam
Will Putnam at Round 7, Pick 33 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
