Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 201 lands the Chargers a B, Allen and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: LeQuint Allen, pick 201, roughly 60 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They will need Bailey to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 22nd pick they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in pick 55 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86 Rnd3 David Bailey
A wild overpay on David Bailey in pick No. 86, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy in No. 124 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Nice patience on Oronde Gadsden II, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 20. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick177 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They barely believed it either: Logan Brown still on the board at the 177th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick183 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in slot 183 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick201 Rnd6 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They read the board right and Jack Kiser was the payoff at No. 215. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley at slot 220 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick253 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at pick No. 253 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
