Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Chargers turned the phones into found money: B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Chargers did exactly that with Oluwafemi Oladejo in the 177th overall pick. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Higgins. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In pick 22 they get an every-down engine for the run game, reach and all.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Value with a capital V on Mason Taylor in Round 3, Pick 22, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick124 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
No drama and no debate, Darius Alexander went about where he belonged in the 124th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick159 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
They paid sticker price for Ty Robinson in the 159th pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd5 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at slot 177 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick183 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley slid further than he should have, and the Round 6 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A slide stopped in pick 187, with Jaylen Reed worth more than the price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick201 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at the 201st pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick215 Rnd6 Clay Webb
They left a pile of value on the table to take Clay Webb this early at slot 215. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in pick No. 220 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jaylin Lane
Jaylin Lane in Round 7, Pick 35 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
