Paul1122 DRAFTING FOR THEChargers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Chargers

FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Chargers: B-. The Chargers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Iapani Laloulu at slot 123 regardless, 34 picks early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Slaughter steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
They trusted the board more than the depth chart.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick55
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
They will replay Jake Slaughter at the 55th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86
Rnd3
Caleb Tiernan
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Caleb Tiernan. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123
Rnd4
Iapani Laloulu
This one needs a full-page explanation: Iapani Laloulu in Round 4, Pick 23, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick201
Rnd6
Makhi Hughes
A reach on Makhi Hughes in pick No. 201; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
