Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB+
The Chargers let Richardson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Chargers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Decamerion Richardson, the No. 174 name on the board, in pick 225.

Every board in the league had Pratt lower, and that gap is the story. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 9 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at Round 2, Pick 5 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at pick 69 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at slot 84 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105 Rnd4 DJ James
The board had DJ James higher than the Round 4 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
They paid sticker price for Gabriel Murphy in the 106th pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
The board had cheaper options than Brenden Rice at No. 110, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
They reached into another round for Michael Pratt, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
Nice patience on Jacob Cowing, who had no business lasting to slot 140. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 181, where Marist Liufau graded well above the range. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick182 Rnd6 James Williams
James Williams in pick 182 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick225 Rnd7 Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson in Round 7, Pick 5 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick253 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the 253rd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
