Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chargers a B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Chargers started one anyway for Cornelius Johnson, 124 picks ahead of schedule.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the Round 1 slot they get a red-zone target to build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kris Jenkins. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
A reach on Roman Wilson in slot 69; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
They left a pile of value on the table to take Drake Nugent this early at Round 4, Pick 6. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick139 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at pick No. 139 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Good price on Frank Gore Jr. in the 183rd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223 Rnd7 Josh Wallace
Josh Wallace in the 223rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick256 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
They talked themselves into Cornelius Johnson at pick No. 256, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
