Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Chargers: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Chargers took Cornelius Johnson at Round 7, Pick 6, roughly 132 spots before his name belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Fautanu pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick 5 they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Nice patience on Jeremiah Trotter Jr., who had no business lasting to pick No. 69. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick105 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at slot 105 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick142 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
A reach for Braelon Allen in No. 142; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick183 Rnd6 AJ Barner
They jumped the gun on AJ Barner, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
They talked themselves into Cornelius Johnson at Round 7, Pick 6, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
