Draft Grade — Chargers

Grand theft in Round 6, Pick 33: the Chargers steal Brooks and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Tahj Brooks, the No. 118 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 208. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get juice off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick53 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
A reasonable price with a little left over, Colston Loveland in slot 53. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kaleb Johnson in No. 84, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 120th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
They robbed the room for Chris Paul Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick178 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
The board fumbled Lathan Ransom all the way to pick No. 178, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick195 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the 195th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick208 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick213 Rnd6 Rod Moore
You do not let a safety like Rod Moore reach pick 213 and blink. They did not. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick222 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in the 222nd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Circle this one: Jared Wilson at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
