Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in the 101st overall pick: the Chargers steal James and grade out a B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let DJ James slide, and the Chargers were the ones holding the card at No. 101. Highway robbery. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The Jefferson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A premium they did not need to pay, Junior Colson a notch or two before his time. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylen Wright. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick101 Rnd4 DJ James
They robbed the room for DJ James here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A conviction pick on Javon Foster at slot 105 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ben Sinnott well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at pick No. 110 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at pick 140 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
A wild overpay on Javontae Jean-Baptiste in pick 181, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
A straight-up fair deal on Delmar Glaze at slot 188, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
No edge and no loss on Jalen Coker in pick No. 253; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
