Draft Grade — Chargers

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Chargers and Golday: C+. You could see the war room lean forward. Jake Golday at the 123rd overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.
Reaching for Slaughter left real value on the table behind him. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Jake Slaughter
In slot 22 they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick55
Rnd2
Max Klare
A real head-scratcher, Max Klare in Round 2, Pick 23 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick86
Rnd3
LT Overton
LT Overton in pick 86 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jake Golday
You do not let an edge rusher like Jake Golday reach No. 123 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204
Rnd6
Matt Gulbin
Circle this one: Matt Gulbin at the 204th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
