Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
B+

NeedB+

FutureB-
The Chargers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. The Chargers did not so much draft Joe Milton III as overpay for him, 32 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
The Franklin value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In No. 11 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Junior Colson at slot 69 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick70
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Good price on Mekhi Wingo in Round 3, Pick 6, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
No drama and no debate, Gabriel Murphy went about where he belonged in the 79th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
By-the-book stuff, Mike Sainristil at pick No. 81 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106
Rnd4
Marshawn Kneeland
A tidy little value on Marshawn Kneeland in slot 106, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
A conviction pick on Darius Robinson at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
They reached into another round for Joe Milton III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick152
Rnd5
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in No. 152 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick183
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in the 183rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick185
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
They left a pile of value on the table to take JD Bertrand this early at Round 6, Pick 10. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jared Wiley
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jared Wiley. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223
Rnd7
Omar Speights
A reasonable price with a little left over, Omar Speights in pick 223. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
