Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Chargers.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Chargers shredded theirs for Jake Majors. He came off 47 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Getting Bech where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Booker well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jake Majors
They reached into another round for Jake Majors, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech at slot 86 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124 Rnd4 Kalel Mullings
Nice patience on Kalel Mullings, who had no business lasting to pick 124. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
The board had Mitchell Evans higher than the Round 5 slot, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A straight-up fair deal on JJ Pegues at Round 5, Pick 38, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at Round 6, Pick 5 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick201 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in pick No. 201 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
A slide stopped in No. 215, with Jordan Hancock worth more than the price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick220 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Circle this one: Kobe Hudson at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
No edge and no loss on Jaylin Smith in pick 253; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
