Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers let Neal fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The Chargers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Devin Neal, the No. 81 name on the board, in the Round 5 slot. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

If Taylor pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Colston Loveland. It fills a real need, too.
Pick55 Rnd2 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in slot 55 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick No. 86 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick124 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 124th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at pick 159 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylen Reed at No. 177, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
A conviction pick on Jordan Hancock at the 183rd overall pick that the board grades a round light. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick201 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Somehow Quincy Riley was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick215 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
Steal is underselling it; Donovan Edwards at the 215th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
They will replay Luke Lachey at pick 220 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A reach on Shilo Sanders in slot 253; the board had better options right there. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
