Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Chargers did exactly that with Stone Handy in slot 180.

On value alone, Taaffe makes the weekend a net positive. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III at No. 25 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick57 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in pick No. 57 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick89 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
A tight end of that caliber at pick 89 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in slot 126 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick160 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to the 160th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180 Rnd6 Stone Handy
A real head-scratcher, Stone Handy in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick200 Rnd6 Nick Nash
They talked themselves into Nick Nash at Round 6, Pick 25, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick208 Rnd6 Michael Taaffe
You do not let a safety like Michael Taaffe reach the 208th pick and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jared Wilson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 218 with a little surplus value in Jonah Monheim. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jimmy Horn Jr.. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
