Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Chargers, and a B- to prove it.

The Chargers clearly saw something nobody else did in Davin Vann, taking him 96 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Nash. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a centerfielder for the defense. More want than need.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kaleb Johnson at the 55th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86 Rnd3 Terrance Ferguson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Terrance Ferguson well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in pick 124 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159 Rnd5 Davin Vann
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Davin Vann. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick183 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
A real head-scratcher, Hayden Conner in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick201 Rnd6 Cooper Mays
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cooper Mays in Round 6, Pick 23, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at slot 215 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at pick 220 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
They jumped the gun on Nohl Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
