Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall A
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Chargers and Thomas Jr.: A.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Chargers were there to profit. Brian Thomas Jr., the No. 27 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 62.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Adding Mark Andrews by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 30th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cooper DeJean at Round 2, Pick 5 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Brian Thomas Jr. in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
They read the board right and Ricky Pearsall was the payoff at slot 69. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in No. 93 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick105 Rnd4 Trey Benson
They will replay Trey Benson at the 105th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick 110 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in pick No. 140 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick181 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at slot 181 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Taking Steele Chambers in No. 225 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick253 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Edefuan Ulofoshio in the 253rd overall pick. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
