Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Chargers won the night they stopped McGlothern from sliding. Grade: B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Dwight McGlothern tumbling to the Chargers in Round 7, Pick 5 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. The Jonathan Greenard pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In No. 11 they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at slot 23 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick 37 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks at Round 3, Pick 5 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick105 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mekhi Wingo. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson slipping to the 110th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at the 140th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
They paid sticker price for Jordan Travis in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick181 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
Daijun Edwards in Round 6, Pick 6 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick225 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
They barely believed it either: Dwight McGlothern still on the board at slot 225. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick253 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick 253 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
