Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Nobody dealt better than the Chargers this weekend: B+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Cornelius Johnson, 157 picks early at pick 223.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In slot 12 they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Rome Odunze
They robbed the room for Rome Odunze here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at the 69th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They reached into another round for Khyree Jackson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A wild overpay on Theo Johnson in Round 4, Pick 6, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in No. 139 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Value said wait; Tanor Bortolini in Round 6, Pick 8 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cornelius Johnson this early at the Round 7 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick230 Rnd7 Brian Ugwu
No drama and no debate, Brian Ugwu went about where he belonged in pick No. 230. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jayson Jones
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jayson Jones. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
