Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Chargers.

The Chargers clearly saw something nobody else did in Davin Vann, taking him 100 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The Etienne value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Matthew Golden in pick No. 22. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick55 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the 55th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Mason Taylor at pick 86. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jared Wilson reach slot 125 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick158 Rnd5 Davin Vann
They reached a country mile for Davin Vann at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick181 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at the 181st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick199 Rnd6 Trevor Etienne
A running back of that caliber at pick 199 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Circle this one: Jaylen Reed at pick No. 209 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in Round 6, Pick 38 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick255 Rnd7 Eric Gregory
Eric Gregory at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
