Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC- FutureA
Larceny in slot 217 lands the Chargers a B, Devonshire and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. M.J. Devonshire had no business being available in No. 217, and the Chargers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
They took Byron Murphy II at par in pick 19, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick37 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
By-the-book stuff, Ja'Tavion Sanders at slot 37 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick52 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
They did well to land Roman Wilson in pick No. 52, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at the 69th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick83 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum in the 83rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick105 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
They read the board right and MarShawn Lloyd was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at No. 110 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at Round 5, Pick 4 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick181 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
No drama and no debate, Tip Reiman went about where he belonged in the 181st overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
Somehow M.J. Devonshire was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 42, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in slot 225 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick253 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They paid sticker price for Sam Hartman in pick No. 253, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
