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

Thirty-one other rooms let Roc Taylor slide, and the Chargers were the ones holding the card at pick No. 253. Highway robbery. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at pick No. 38 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in slot 41 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at Round 3, Pick 22 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in pick 103 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick145 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
The board fumbled Joshua Farmer all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at the 159th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick183 Rnd6 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at No. 183 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick201 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Somehow Ollie Gordon II was still sitting there in the 201st pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd7 Chase Lundt
You do not let an offensive lineman like Chase Lundt reach Round 7, Pick 2 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Circle this one: Roc Taylor at slot 253 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
