Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chargers: B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Chargers would have aced it. Carter Bradley at the 225th overall pick is 70 spots clear of where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Barton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 5th pick they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
The board had cheaper options than Kris Jenkins at Round 2, Pick 5, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Graham Barton
You do not let an offensive lineman like Graham Barton reach pick 69 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braelon Allen. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
They paid sticker price for Leonard Taylor III in No. 110, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in slot 140 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick181 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Trente Jones at pick No. 181 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Carter Bradley
They reached a country mile for Carter Bradley at the 225th pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
A straight-up fair deal on Jalen Coker at Round 7, Pick 33, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
