Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Chargers and James: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: DJ James, the No. 53 name on the board, stolen at the 120th pick.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The Thomas Booker IV deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 5 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
They did well to land Adonai Mitchell in Round 2, Pick 5, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kamari Lassiter
They barely believed it either: Kamari Lassiter still on the board at the 69th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
They let MarShawn Lloyd come to them and pounced at pick No. 105. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick120 Rnd4 DJ James
Somehow DJ James was still sitting there in slot 120, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140 Rnd5 Bucky Irving
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Bucky Irving in the 140th overall pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at No. 161 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jaheim Bell
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Jaheim Bell for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick225 Rnd7 Trente Jones
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 225 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
