Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Chargers clearly saw something nobody else did in Terrance Ferguson, taking him 28 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Landing Stout that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 22 they get a load in the middle at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at No. 55 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick86 Rnd3 Terrance Ferguson
Value said wait; Terrance Ferguson in slot 86 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jake Majors
No drama and no debate, Jake Majors went about where he belonged in the 125th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick158 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Fair-plus on Damien Martinez, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick181 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in the 181st pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick199 Rnd6 CJ West
They let CJ West come to them and pounced at No. 199. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick209 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Upton Stout at slot 209 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick214 Rnd6 Robert Longerbeam
Robert Longerbeam at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
They took Jackson Hawes at par in pick No. 256, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
