Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chargers: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Chargers started one anyway for Tyler Johnson, 113 picks ahead of schedule.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jake Slaughter
In the 25th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value.
Pick62 Rnd2 Aaron Graves
Value said wait; Aaron Graves in slot 62 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for D'Angelo Ponds. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Terry Moore
A reach for Terry Moore in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick123 Rnd4 Trey Moore
They talked themselves into Trey Moore at the 123rd pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
They reached a country mile for Kyle Louis at pick No. 125, and the board is aghast. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick162 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
This one needs a full-page explanation: DJ Campbell in slot 162, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Shamar Porter
Shamar Porter at pick 201 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203 Rnd6 Dante Dowdell
They reached into another round for Dante Dowdell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick256 Rnd7 Tyler Johnson
Tyler Johnson in the 256th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
