Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chargers: 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 Karsen Barnhart in the 253rd pick.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. However the rest shakes out, Pearsall at that price is a win they earned.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the 5th pick they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey at slot 37 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in the 69th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick105 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They paid a round early for Theo Johnson in No. 105, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Nothing to complain about; Zak Zinter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick140 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick181 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
They reached a country mile for Drake Nugent at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at No. 225 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick253 Rnd7 Karsen Barnhart
This one needs a full-page explanation: Karsen Barnhart in Round 7, Pick 33, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
