Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 170th overall pick: the Chargers steal Jackson and grade out a B.

The Chargers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Donovan Jackson fell into pick No. 170. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention. The dealing was even money, start to finish.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 22 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart in slot 55 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in the 86th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jared Wilson in pick No. 124. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
They robbed the room for Donovan Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick177 Rnd5 Nick Nash
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 177 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Upton Stout at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick201 Rnd6 Mello Dotson
You do not let a cornerback like Mello Dotson reach Round 6, Pick 23 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211 Rnd6 Dillon Gabriel
The board fumbled Dillon Gabriel all the way to pick 211, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick215 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Taking Ollie Gordon II in the 215th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
They took Cam Horsley at par in the 220th pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Luke Lachey in No. 253, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
