Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Chargers let Devonshire fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: M.J. Devonshire, the Round 7 slot, roughly 34 picks past where he belonged.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 15 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Morgan at Round 2, Pick 5, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at the 69th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They took Braelon Allen at par in pick 105, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
A quiet steal in the 110th pick: Andru Phillips for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in slot 140 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick148 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick181 Rnd6 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at pick No. 181 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick225 Rnd7 M.J. Devonshire
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, M.J. Devonshire in pick No. 225, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick253 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
A slide stopped in Round 7, Pick 33, with Donovan Jennings worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
