Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chargers: B-.

Nobody else had Cornelius Johnson anywhere near slot 256. The Chargers did, by 124 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Irving.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the Round 1 slot they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value.
Pick37 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
They talked themselves into Sedrick Van Pran at pick 37, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They liked Roman Wilson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 69. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Bucky Irving at the 106th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at Round 5, Pick 3 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the 183rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick223 Rnd7 Josh Wallace
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Josh Wallace. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick256 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at pick 256 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
