Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesD- FutureB
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Chargers to a C+.

The Justin Eboigbe pick is the one that will follow the Chargers into the fall. They took him 38 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The McConkey value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

If Joe Alt and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In No. 12 they get a cornerstone up front at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ladd McConkey
Taking Ladd McConkey in pick No. 69 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James at the 76th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
A real head-scratcher, Leonard Taylor III in Round 3, Pick 25 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Theo Johnson at pick 121, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Audric Estime
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Audric Estime in pick 123, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick128 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
The board fumbled Brenden Rice all the way to slot 128, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 James Williams
They let James Williams come to them and pounced at No. 136. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick137 Rnd5 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 137 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick145 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the 145th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
A wild overpay on Jordan Travis in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick188 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Circle this one: Malik Mustapha at the 188th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick247 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Frank Gore Jr. at Round 7, Pick 27 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the 248th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick253 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Edefuan Ulofoshio in the 253rd pick. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
