Draft Grade — Chargers

FutureB-
The Chargers let Johnson fall into their laps, and walked away with a D+. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Chargers shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D+ is the result.
They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They banked enough surplus on Johnson to cover a lot of smaller sins. Every board in the league had Lovett lower, and that gap is the story.
In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In pick No. 6 they get a red-zone target to build around. A real need, handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick47
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
No drama and no debate, T.J. Tampa went about where he belonged in slot 47. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy slid further than he should have, and the 69th overall pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
Fair-plus on Jaylen Wright, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106
Rnd4
DJ James
Somehow DJ James was still sitting there in the 106th pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136
Rnd4
Fabien Lovett
They paid up for Fabien Lovett at pick No. 136 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
A straight-up fair deal on Roger Rosengarten at pick 139, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick183
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace at slot 183 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick223
Rnd7
Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick236
Rnd7
Keaton Bills
Keaton Bills in the 236th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick256
Rnd7
Josh Wallace
A reasonable price with a little left over, Josh Wallace in No. 256. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
