Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers robbed the room for Higgins. Final grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jay Higgins had no business being available in slot 218, and the Chargers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They will need Nash to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In No. 22 they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Nothing to complain about; Tyleik Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
They liked Mason Taylor enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 123 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick157 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick 157 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick179 Rnd6 Nick Nash
A big swing on Nick Nash at the 179th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick197 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
They will replay Bhayshul Tuten at the 197th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick208 Rnd6 Clay Webb
They paid a round early for Clay Webb in Round 6, Pick 33, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick213 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in the 213th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in Round 7, Pick 2 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick253 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at the Round 7 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
