Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Chargers.

The Chargers spent real capital to be 132 picks early on Cornelius Johnson, and the board is going to hold them to it. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 5th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A reach for Kris Jenkins in No. 37; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69 Rnd3 Blake Corum
No drama and no debate, Blake Corum went about where he belonged in slot 69. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick105 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at pick No. 105 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick142 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
A big swing on Michael Barrett at pick 142, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick183 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at Round 6, Pick 8 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in pick No. 226 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
