dukez DRAFTING FOR THEChargers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Chargers: B-. Some picks age like wine; Barryn Sorrell at the 177th pick will need to, sitting 138 spots clear of his grade. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
A quiet steal in pick No. 22: Tetairoa McMillan for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick55
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86
Rnd3
Terrance Ferguson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Terrance Ferguson. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick124
Rnd4
Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings in No. 124 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick159
Rnd5
Darius Alexander
They robbed the room for Darius Alexander here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177
Rnd5
Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at the 177th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick183
Rnd6
Nick Nash
Nick Nash in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick201
Rnd6
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A reach on Jamon Dumas-Johnson in the 201st overall pick; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick215
Rnd6
Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at pick 215 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220
Rnd7
Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith in Round 7, Pick 2 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253
Rnd7
Eli Cox
A wild overpay on Eli Cox in the 253rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
