Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Chargers turned the phones into found money: B.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Chargers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

If Oladapo pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

On value alone, Cephus makes the weekend a net positive. The Tyjae Spears pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In pick 7 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They took Tyler Guyton at par in slot 37, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in No. 38 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in pick No. 69 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A reach for Kris Abrams-Draine in the 106th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in Round 5, Pick 3 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
No edge and no loss on Jordan Jefferson in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
They reached into another round for De'Corian Clark, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick223 Rnd7 David Ugwoegbu
They jumped the gun on David Ugwoegbu, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick256 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
The board had Joshua Cephus higher than the Round 7 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
