Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers robbed the room for Neal. Final grade: B.

The Chargers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Devin Neal, the No. 84 name on the board, in the Round 6 slot. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Reaching for Caldwell left real value on the table behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick No. 22 they get a security blanket over the middle, outstanding value to boot.
Pick55 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
The board fumbled Omarion Hampton all the way to pick 55, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
They will replay Jihaad Campbell at slot 86 for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick124 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in Round 4, Pick 23 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159 Rnd5 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at the 159th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Somehow Jared Wilson was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Circle this one: Lathan Ransom at No. 183 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick201 Rnd6 Devin Neal
They barely believed it either: Devin Neal still on the board at the 201st pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at No. 215 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Taking Cam Skattebo in Round 7, Pick 2 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
A big swing on Jamaree Caldwell at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
