Jaybeast17 DRAFTING FOR THEChargers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Chargers

The Chargers have some explaining to do: D. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jaden Platt at No. 25, a reach of 462 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: running back settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.
They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Jaden Platt
In the 25th overall pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59
Rnd2
Makhi Hughes
Value said wait; Makhi Hughes in pick No. 59 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90
Rnd3
Austin Barber
They took Austin Barber at par in pick 90, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jaylon Braxton
They talked themselves into Jaylon Braxton at slot 125, and the board did not agree. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick206
Rnd6
Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada in No. 206 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
