Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Chargers turned the phones into found money: B+.

Some picks age like wine; Will Sheppard at the Round 7 slot will need to, sitting 89 spots clear of his grade.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They took Azareye'h Thomas at par in pick 55, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at pick No. 86 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
Taking Tate Ratledge in the 124th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in No. 159 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick177 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
They will replay Kevin Winston Jr. at Round 5, Pick 38 for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick201 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Fair-plus on Luke Lachey, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick215 Rnd6 Kobe King
They barely believed it either: Kobe King still on the board at the 215th pick. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick220 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
This one needs a full-page explanation: Will Sheppard in pick No. 220, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Moliki Matavao
Moliki Matavao slid further than he should have, and No. 253 is lovely value for the tight end. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
