Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Chargers robbed the room for Marks. Final grade: C-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Woody Marks, slot 253, roughly 72 picks past where he belonged. It nets out a thoroughly average C-.

Frazier has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

If Tyler Warren and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Good price on Tyler Warren in No. 22, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick55 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on TreVeyon Henderson. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jake Majors
A premium they did not need to pay, Jake Majors a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jordan Burch
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 4, with Jordan Burch worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jordan Phillips at the 124th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in pick 159 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick183 Rnd6 Tommi Hill
Somehow Tommi Hill was still sitting there in slot 183, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
They barely believed it either: Jaylen Reed still on the board at pick No. 201. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jack Kiser at pick 215 is the proof. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
They reached into another round for Jackson Hawes, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Woody Marks at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
