Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers robbed the room for Felton. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Tai Felton sat on the board until Round 5, Pick 20, and the Chargers did not need to be asked twice. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They will need Hayes to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Nothing to complain about; Tyler Warren went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick55 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Steal is underselling it; Walter Nolen at the 55th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jack Bech
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jack Bech in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick124 Rnd4 David Walker
This one needs a full-page explanation: David Walker in the 124th overall pick, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tai Felton
They barely believed it either: Tai Felton still on the board at pick No. 159. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in Round 5, Pick 38 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick183 Rnd6 Emery Jones Jr.
Taking Emery Jones Jr. in No. 183 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick201 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
They jumped the gun on Hayden Conner, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in pick 215 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd7 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in Round 7, Pick 2 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick253 Rnd7 Dayon Hayes
A real head-scratcher, Dayon Hayes in pick No. 253 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
