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

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Chargers did exactly that with Jordan Hall in the 202nd pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Wheatley pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
A clean, defensible pick in No. 55 with a little surplus value in Jake Slaughter. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
They read the board right and Zakee Wheatley was the payoff at pick No. 86. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick123 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
They jumped the gun on Skyler Gill-Howard, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jordan Hall
They reached into another round for Jordan Hall, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
