Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chargers: B-.

The Jordan Hancock selection is the head-turner. The Chargers reached 58 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Getting Reed where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 22nd overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at slot 63 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick95 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at pick No. 95 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Damien Martinez
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Damien Martinez well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jordan Hancock
A real head-scratcher, Jordan Hancock in the 158th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick181 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at No. 181 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick199 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Value with a capital V on JJ Pegues in the 199th pick, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at pick 209 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
A reasonable price with a little left over, Luke Lachey in slot 214. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall at Round 7, Pick 40 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
