Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Chargers and Reed: B+.

The Chargers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

That Reed pick is the receipt they will wave around later. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Chargers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In No. 14 they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
They did well to land Ladd McConkey in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
No drama and no debate, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. went about where he belonged in pick 54. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Value with a capital V on Kingsley Suamataia in pick No. 69, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at the 75th pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106 Rnd4 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the 106th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick117 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd slid further than he should have, and the 117th pick is lovely value for the running back. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick118 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at Round 4, Pick 18 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in pick No. 139 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They liked Luke McCaffrey enough to skip the value, taking him in the 152nd overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick256 Rnd7 Austin Reed
Somehow Austin Reed was still sitting there in pick 256, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
