Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Chargers: B-.

The Chargers put a flag in the ground for RJ Oben, 28 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The TeSlaa value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
No drama and no debate, Walter Nolen went about where he belonged in pick No. 22. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at slot 55 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86 Rnd3 David Walker
They reached into another round for David Walker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
A quiet steal in the 125th overall pick: Terrance Ferguson for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick158 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the 158th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
They let Jonah Monheim come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 5. The roster fit checks out.
Pick199 Rnd6 RJ Oben
They left a pile of value on the table to take RJ Oben this early at the Round 6 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick209 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Value with a capital V on Tahj Brooks in No. 209, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick214 Rnd6 Karene Reid
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 214 with a little surplus value in Karene Reid. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick256 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 256th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
