Grand theft in the Round 4 slot: the Chargers steal Jackson and grade out a B. The Chargers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Ja'Quinden Jackson fell into the 118th overall pick. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In pick No. 12 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at Round 2, Pick 13 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick98
Rnd3
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at pick 98 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick99
Rnd3
Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in slot 99 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118
Rnd4
Ja'Quinden Jackson
A running back of that caliber at No. 118 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick153
Rnd5
Jack Bech
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Jack Bech worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175
Rnd5
Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp slid further than he should have, and the 175th overall pick is lovely value for the tight end. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick180
Rnd6
Tonka Hemingway
A tidy bit of business in the 180th pick, where Tonka Hemingway graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick190
Rnd6
Azareye'h Thomas
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Azareye'h Thomas in No. 190. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick213
Rnd6
J.C. Davis
Nice patience on J.C. Davis, who had no business lasting to the Round 6 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220
Rnd7
Kyren Lacy
Nothing to complain about; Kyren Lacy went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249
Rnd7
Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. at Round 7, Pick 35 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick250
Rnd7
Power Echols
Power Echols in pick 250 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
