Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
Grand theft in pick No. 143: the Chargers steal Mondon Jr. and grade out a B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Smael Mondon Jr. at the 143rd pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They are betting Brailsford proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The veteran additions, Christian Harris chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at No. 38 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They read the board right and Kenneth Grant was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
No edge and no loss on Tate Ratledge in the 53rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick56 Rnd2 Parker Brailsford
They reached into another round for Parker Brailsford, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick102 Rnd4 J. Michael Sturdivant
A tidy little value on J. Michael Sturdivant in the 102nd pick, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in Round 4, Pick 15 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Taking Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 143 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick175 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah in slot 175 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
