Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chargers for Gordon II: B.

The Chargers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Ollie Gordon II, the No. 170 name on the board, in the Round 7 slot.

Reaching for Vann left real value on the table behind him. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick No. 22 they get a home-run threat at receiver, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at pick 55 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 86th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick124 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
A straight-up fair deal on Terrance Ferguson at Round 4, Pick 23, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
They will replay Kalel Mullings at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick177 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on JJ Pegues. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183 Rnd6 Davin Vann
They reached into another round for Davin Vann, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick201 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Willie Lampkin in the 201st pick, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick215 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in Round 6, Pick 37 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
A real head-scratcher, Jackson Hawes in pick No. 220 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Taking Ollie Gordon II in the 253rd pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
