Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 225: the Chargers steal Dixon and grade out a B+.

The Chargers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Johnny Dixon fell into the 225th overall pick.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Aaron Jones gives the group a proven body among the projects. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
They took Rome Odunze at par in slot 11, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick23 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 23 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in Round 2, Pick 5 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They let Payton Wilson come to them and pounced at pick No. 69. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick105 Rnd4 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the 105th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
No edge and no loss on Spencer Rattler in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at the 140th 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.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in No. 167 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick181 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett in pick 181 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at the 225th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick253 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
Steal is underselling it; Tayvion Robinson at slot 253 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
