Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Mafah should have been long gone. The Chargers pounced, and earned a B-.

The Chargers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Phil Mafah, the No. 167 name on the board, in the 201st pick.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Taylor has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In No. 25 they get a mismatch in the passing game. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at Round 2, Pick 23 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
They jumped the gun on Ashton Gillotte, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick 124 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at the 159th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
No drama and no debate, Jaylen Reed went about where he belonged in pick No. 177. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at slot 183 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick201 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
They robbed the room for Phil Mafah here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick215 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
A tight end of that caliber at the 215th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick220 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kyle Monangai in No. 220, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
Good price on Jaylin Smith in Round 7, Pick 35, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
