Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Chargers.

The Chargers bet big and early on Davin Vann, 100 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

However the rest shakes out, Marks at that price is a win they earned. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 22 they get a centerfielder for the defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick55 Rnd2 Mason Taylor
They talked themselves into Mason Taylor at No. 55, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in slot 86 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They let Jordan Phillips come to them and pounced at the 125th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick158 Rnd5 Davin Vann
A real head-scratcher, Davin Vann in pick 158 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick181 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick199 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams in No. 199 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jay Higgins in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick214 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
They took Cam Jackson at par in pick 214, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Taking Woody Marks in the 218th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They reached into another round for Thor Griffith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
