Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Chargers took Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 159th pick, roughly 82 spots before his name belonged.

Reed falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a mismatch in the passing game, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow in the 55th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 86, where Omarr Norman-Lott graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
By-the-book stuff, Darius Alexander at pick 124 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick159 Rnd5 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo in slot 159 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177 Rnd5 Que Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Que Robinson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick183 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
A quiet steal in pick 183: Ollie Gordon II for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in the 201st pick is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Steal is underselling it; Jaylen Reed at the 215th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick220 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai in slot 220 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jamaree Caldwell in No. 253, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
