Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Chargers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Brady Cook, 28 picks early at pick No. 256.

The Farmer pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Good price on Tyler Warren in slot 23, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick55 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
A straight-up fair deal on Azareye'h Thomas at the 55th pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They paid sticker price for Darius Alexander in Round 3, Pick 23, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They took Jared Wilson at par in No. 102, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick No. 125 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick130 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Joshua Farmer at the Round 4 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick158 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 158, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A reach for Joshua Gray in the 196th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick209 Rnd6 Fadil Diggs
Fadil Diggs at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick214 Rnd6 Ahmed Hassanein
Ahmed Hassanein at the 214th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick235 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
Akili Arnold at pick No. 235 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick256 Rnd7 Brady Cook
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brady Cook well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
