Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Chargers, and a B- to prove it.

The war room fell hard for Darius Alexander, and it showed at Round 2, Pick 23: 39 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Jackson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In slot 22 they get a mismatch in the passing game at fair value.
Pick55 Rnd2 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in pick 55 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
The board fumbled Dylan Sampson all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at pick No. 125 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick158 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Nice patience on Mitchell Evans, who had no business lasting to the 158th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181 Rnd6 James Burnip
James Burnip in the 181st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick199 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Taking Ollie Gordon II in Round 6, Pick 23 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 209 is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick214 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at the 214th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
They robbed the room for Ja'Quinden Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
