Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Moore should have been long gone. The Chargers pounced, and earned a A-.

The board owed the Chargers one, and it paid up: Malachi Moore, the No. 95 name on the board, sitting there at slot 253 like a gift left on the doorstep. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

They are betting Williams proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick 25 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick55 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at pick No. 55 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
A premium they did not need to pay, Jordan Burch a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Somehow Dylan Fairchild was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 23, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at the 127th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at the 159th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
Circle this one: Sebastian Castro at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick183 Rnd6 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in slot 183 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick201 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick215 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
A big swing on Nohl Williams at pick 215, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
The board fumbled Terrance Ferguson all the way to slot 220, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253 Rnd7 Malachi Moore
Steal is underselling it; Malachi Moore at the 253rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
