Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB+
The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Sai'vion Jones, 56 picks early at pick 86. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Gadsden II pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 30 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86 Rnd3 Sai'vion Jones
A wild overpay on Sai'vion Jones in the 86th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108 Rnd4 David Walker
This one needs a full-page explanation: David Walker in the 108th overall pick, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick124 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at pick No. 124 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick159 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They took Bhayshul Tuten at par in No. 159, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jonah Monheim reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick183 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
They will replay Oronde Gadsden II at slot 183 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick201 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Steal is underselling it; Ollie Gordon II at the 201st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Nice patience on Jordan Hancock, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 37. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick220 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike in pick 220 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith at the 253rd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
