Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Chargers a A.

The Chargers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Guerendo has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Getting Isaac where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The Creed Humphrey pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Bottom line, with Troy Franklin leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In No. 32 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at the 37th pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Adisa Isaac at the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 69th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick105 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
A tidy little value on DeWayne Carter in Round 4, Pick 5, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They reached into another round for Isaac Guerendo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Good price on Jarrian Jones in slot 140, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick181 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
The board had cheaper options than Delmar Glaze at pick 181, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield is a better player than Round 7, Pick 5 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick253 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at slot 253 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
