Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Chargers and Henderson: B+.

The Chargers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: LaDarius Henderson, the No. 169 name on the board, in pick No. 223. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

They are betting Allen proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Chargers indulged a want in Solomon while a need in quarterback stayed open.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 6th pick they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A slide stopped in No. 37, with Troy Franklin worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 5 with a little surplus value in Zach Frazier. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A reasonable price with a little left over, Mike Sainristil in slot 86. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
A curious use of the Round 4 slot. Quarterback needed the pick; an OLB-EDGE in Javon Solomon did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Theo Johnson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick No. 128 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Justin Rogers well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick156 Rnd5 Renardo Green
Fair-plus on Renardo Green, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick183 Rnd6 AJ Barner
They left a pile of value on the table to take AJ Barner this early at pick No. 183. The roster fit checks out.
Pick223 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at pick 223 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in Round 7, Pick 36 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
