Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Chargers took Leonard Taylor III at slot 69, roughly 29 spots before his name belonged.

The McCaffrey steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
No drama and no debate, Brock Bowers went about where he belonged in No. 5. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick37 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 5; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick69 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
They reached a country mile for Leonard Taylor III at slot 69, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick 106 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
They let Johnny Wilson come to them and pounced at pick No. 139. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick183 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Circle this one: Luke McCaffrey at the 183rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick223 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
A slide stopped in the 223rd pick, with JD Bertrand worth more than the price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick256 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at pick 256 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
