Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC+
The Chargers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Chargers took Devin Culp at the 246th overall pick, roughly 58 spots before his name belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Trotter Jr. pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at offensive lineman.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hadden.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In slot 30 they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They did well to land Edgerrin Cooper in the 52nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jermaine Burton. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Jeremiah Trotter Jr. while clear needs at offensive lineman sat open.
Pick97 Rnd3 Malik Washington
Fair-plus on Malik Washington, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in pick 99 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime at pick No. 110 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Davis at slot 113, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick140 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
A premium they did not need to pay, Isaiah Davis a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick181 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in the 181st pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at Round 6, Pick 19 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick196 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at the 196th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick225 Rnd7 Eric Watts
No edge and no loss on Eric Watts in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 Devin Culp
They reached into another round for Devin Culp, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick253 Rnd7 Austin Reed
This one needs a full-page explanation: Austin Reed in the Round 7 slot, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
