Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Chargers.

The Chargers banked a tidy surplus when Edefuan Ulofoshio lasted to Round 7, Pick 33, a few spots past his grade.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Johnson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 5 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean slid further than he should have, and pick 37 is lovely value for the cornerback. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
No drama and no debate, Jaylen Wright went about where he belonged in pick No. 69. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in slot 105 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They jumped the gun on Theo Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick140 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mason McCormick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
No edge and no loss on Cornelius Johnson in No. 181; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225 Rnd7 Eric Watts
By-the-book stuff, Eric Watts at pick 225 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick253 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio slipping to the 253rd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
