Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chargers a B-.

The Chargers did not so much draft Jamaree Caldwell as overpay for him, 117 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Gordon II pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Warren in No. 22. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick55 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on TreVeyon Henderson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaylin Noel a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 159th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
A quiet steal in pick No. 177: Damien Martinez for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick183 Rnd6 Mello Dotson
Circle this one: Mello Dotson at pick 183 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in the 201st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jamaree Caldwell
They talked themselves into Jamaree Caldwell at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in pick No. 220 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit at the 253rd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
