Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureA+
Washington should have been long gone. The Chargers pounced, and earned a B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Tahj Washington at the 225th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

Corum has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 19 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. is a better player than pick No. 37 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick50 Rnd2 Blake Corum
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Blake Corum well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick65 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
No drama and no debate, Bralen Trice went about where he belonged in pick 65. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 5 is lovely value for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in slot 110 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick140 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
They paid sticker price for Trevor Keegan in the 140th overall pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They reached into another round for Jared Wiley, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
Somehow Tahj Washington was still sitting there in pick 225, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253 Rnd7 Kalen DeLoach
Good price on Kalen DeLoach in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
