Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD-
Grand theft in slot 253: the Chargers steal Abrams-Draine and grade out a B.

Somebody in the Round 7 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Chargers sat still while Kris Abrams-Draine, the No. 81 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The cost of the Carter reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick No. 11 they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all.
Pick37 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in slot 37 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
A real head-scratcher, DeWayne Carter in pick 69 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in Round 3, Pick 7 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick90 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on MarShawn Lloyd. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick140 Rnd5 Brenden Rice
Taking Brenden Rice in the 140th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick181 Rnd6 AJ Barner
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing AJ Barner in the 181st pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Dominick Puni
They will replay Dominick Puni at pick 225 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253 Rnd7 Kris Abrams-Draine
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kris Abrams-Draine in the 253rd pick, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
