Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers won the night they stopped Shough from sliding. Grade: B-.

Somebody in No. 215 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Chargers sat still while Tyler Shough, the No. 142 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Hancock has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 22 they get a mismatch in the passing game at fair value.
Pick55 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in Round 2, Pick 23 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 86th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick159 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Value with a capital V on Damien Martinez in pick No. 159, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
No drama and no debate, Jaylen Reed went about where he belonged in the 177th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
A reach on Jordan Hancock in pick 183; the board had better options right there. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick201 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
They let Luke Lachey come to them and pounced at slot 201. It fills a real need, too.
Pick215 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in Round 6, Pick 37 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Woody Marks at slot 220 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
The board had Hunter Wohler higher than the 253rd pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
