Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
The Chargers let Jones fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Chargers watched Jarrian Jones slide 34 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Every board in the league had Lee lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 15th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They paid a round early for Kris Jenkins in pick No. 37, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. is a better player than Round 2, Pick 14 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
Taking Keon Coleman in slot 69 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cooper Beebe in No. 82. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 Blake Corum
By-the-book stuff, Blake Corum at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
A quiet steal in the 106th pick: Caelen Carson for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in pick 139 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at Round 6, Pick 8 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 Logan Lee
They reached a country mile for Logan Lee at the 223rd overall pick, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in No. 236 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick256 Rnd7 KT Leveston
The board fumbled KT Leveston all the way to pick No. 256, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
