Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers won the night they stopped Gordon II from sliding. Grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ollie Gordon II, slot 253, roughly 79 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

If Caldwell pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. 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
Nothing to complain about; Tyler Warren went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker slid further than he should have, and slot 55 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Somehow TreVeyon Henderson was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick124 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
A tight end of that caliber at No. 124 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in pick 159 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Taking Jonah Monheim in the 177th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Hancock this early at pick No. 183. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick201 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at Round 6, Pick 26 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
They barely believed it either: Damien Martinez still on the board at pick 215. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
They reached into another round for Jamaree Caldwell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick253 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Circle this one: Ollie Gordon II at slot 253 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
