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

The Chargers bet big and early on DeMonte Capehart, 42 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Powers-Johnson. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In slot 5 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at No. 37 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
The board fumbled Jackson Powers-Johnson all the way to the 69th pick, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
They paid sticker price for Jaden Hicks in Round 4, Pick 6, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick139 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
They left a pile of value on the table to take Braelon Allen this early at pick No. 139. The roster fit checks out.
Pick183 Rnd6 AJ Barner
A big swing on AJ Barner at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick223 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
They reached into another round for J.J. Weaver, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick256 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
They reached a country mile for DeMonte Capehart at the 256th pick, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
