Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in Round 7, Pick 3 lands the Chargers a B-, Jones and all.

The Chargers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Elijah Jones fell into Round 7, Pick 3.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They are betting Oladapo proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In pick 5 they get a seam-stretching tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They paid a round early for Kris Jenkins in slot 37, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Blake Fisher. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in No. 106 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A reach for Kitan Oladapo in pick No. 139; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
No edge and no loss on Jordan Jefferson in Round 6, Pick 8; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in the 223rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A straight-up fair deal on Joshua Cephus at the 256th pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
