Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 6 slot lands the Chargers a B, Foster and all.

The Chargers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Javon Foster fell into slot 181. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Duke pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In slot 5 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Value with a capital V on Nate Wiggins in the 37th pick, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Junior Colson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Junior Colson in the 69th overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick105 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at Round 4, Pick 5 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Nice patience on Cam Hart, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Hunter Nourzad
They reached into another round for Hunter Nourzad, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick181 Rnd6 Javon Foster
Somehow Javon Foster was still sitting there in pick No. 181, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Fabien Lovett
Circle this one: Fabien Lovett at pick 225 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253 Rnd7 Khalid Duke
Khalid Duke at the 253rd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
