Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
Flournoy should have been long gone. The Chargers pounced, and earned a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ryan Flournoy had no business being available in No. 227, and the Chargers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze at pick No. 7 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick37 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
No edge and no loss on Xavier Legette in the 37th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick38 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Robinson at pick 38, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 69 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime in Round 4, Pick 5 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Will Shipley
A reasonable price with a little left over, Will Shipley in the 110th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick140 Rnd5 Josh Newton
You do not let a cornerback like Josh Newton reach No. 140 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick181 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Marist Liufau in the Round 6 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick225 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
Fair-plus on JD Bertrand, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick227 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
The board fumbled Ryan Flournoy all the way to Round 7, Pick 7, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick253 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sam Hartman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
