Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers let Starks fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Chargers watched Malaki Starks slide 60 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They are betting Pegues proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 22nd overall pick they get a security blanket over the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Steal is underselling it; Omarion Hampton at pick 55 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
A safety of that caliber at No. 86 is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick125 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Value with a capital V on Terrance Ferguson in Round 4, Pick 23, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick158 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A big swing on JJ Pegues at the 158th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick181 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
They did well to land Ajani Cornelius in the Round 6 slot, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at slot 199 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick209 Rnd6 Woody Marks
Somehow Woody Marks was still sitting there in pick No. 209, and they pounced on premier running back value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick214 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah in pick No. 214 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick256 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They went early on Hayden Conner in the 256th pick, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
