Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Chargers, and a B- to prove it.

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 Blake Corum in the Round 2 slot.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Landing Ulofoshio that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In pick No. 5 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at the Round 2 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
No drama and no debate, Mike Sainristil went about where he belonged in the 69th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Value with a capital V on Dominick Puni in No. 105, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
A real head-scratcher, Jamari Thrash in the 110th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick140 Rnd5 AJ Barner
They reached into another round for AJ Barner, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in the 181st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick225 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
No edge and no loss on Nathan Thomas in Round 7, Pick 5; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick No. 253 is the proof. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
