Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Chargers let Gould fall and pounced. Final grade: C-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Chargers watched Anthony Gould slide 59 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C-.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Jackson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Joe Alt
They paid sticker price for Joe Alt in the Round 1 slot, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick37 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A straight-up fair deal on Edgerrin Cooper at Round 2, Pick 5, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick69 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
You do not let a cornerback like T.J. Tampa reach No. 69 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at pick No. 104 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at slot 117 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139 Rnd5 Beau Brade
Beau Brade at pick 139 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick180 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A wild overpay on Joe Milton III in the 180th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225 Rnd7 Anthony Gould
They barely believed it either: Anthony Gould still on the board at the 225th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jackson Sirmon
They liked Jackson Sirmon enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 7 slot. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
