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

The Chargers spent real capital to be 100 picks early on Jamaree Caldwell, and the board is going to hold them to it. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Farmer at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup weapon at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
You do not let a running back like Omarion Hampton reach Round 2, Pick 23 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick86 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at slot 86 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They took Darius Alexander at par in pick 124, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick159 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
They did well to land Damien Martinez in No. 159, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at pick No. 177 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylen Reed at No. 183, value and slot in agreement. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick201 Rnd6 Joshua Farmer
Taking Joshua Farmer in the 201st overall pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell in pick No. 215 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick220 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
A slide stopped in Round 7, Pick 2, with R.J. Mickens worth more than the price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 253 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
