Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chargers: B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jasheen Davis, 108 picks early at the 253rd overall pick. No fireworks, but a solid B.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in pick 55 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick86 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Steal is underselling it; Isaiah Bond at No. 86 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach the 124th overall pick and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Taking Joshua Farmer in slot 159 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at pick No. 177 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick183 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
They took JJ Pegues at par in Round 6, Pick 5, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick201 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in the 201st overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick215 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Seth McLaughlin. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd7 Dayon Hayes
They reached into another round for Dayon Hayes, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis in the 253rd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
