Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall D-
ValueD NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
The Chargers left with their quarterback, and a D- to match.

Nobody else had Roman Wilson anywhere near No. 5. The Chargers did, by 41 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

So much rides on J.J. McCarthy that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick No. 3 they get the face of the franchise, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick5 Rnd1 Roman Wilson
In No. 5 they get a weapon on the perimeter, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in the 37th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A conviction pick on Junior Colson at Round 2, Pick 10 that the board grades a round light. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick69 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at slot 69 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mike Sainristil in the 86th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
By-the-book stuff, Zak Zinter at No. 105 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
A real head-scratcher, Trevor Keegan in pick 110 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick140 Rnd5 AJ Barner
They reached into another round for AJ Barner, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick181 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Cornelius Johnson at slot 181, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Trente Jones
They paid sticker price for Trente Jones in the 188th overall pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick225 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
The board had cheaper options than Michael Barrett at pick No. 225, and it noticed. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Josh Wallace
A tidy little value on Josh Wallace in Round 7, Pick 33, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
