Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesD- FutureA
Horton should have been long gone. The Chargers pounced, and earned a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Chargers were there to profit. Tory Horton, the No. 112 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 201st pick.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Monheim reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick55 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
You do not let a running back like Omarion Hampton reach slot 55 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick62 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They paid up for Tate Ratledge at the 62nd pick when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
They will replay Isaiah Bond at No. 86 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings at the 159th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick177 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Joshua Farmer in Round 5, Pick 38, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick183 Rnd6 Tommi Hill
Steal is underselling it; Tommi Hill at pick No. 183 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick201 Rnd6 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at pick 201 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They paid sticker price for Jamon Dumas-Johnson in pick 215, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick220 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in slot 220 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
They robbed the room for Jaylen Reed here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
