Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Chargers shredded theirs for Jasheen Davis. He came off 89 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They banked enough surplus on Reed to cover a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 22 they get a matchup weapon at tight end at fair value.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea in slot 55 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They liked Jake Majors enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 86. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
No edge and no loss on Darius Alexander in the 125th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick158 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They read the board right and Nick Nash was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 20. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick181 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Circle this one: Raheim Sanders at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Value with a capital V on Jay Higgins in the 199th overall pick, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick209 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at Round 6, Pick 33 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick214 Rnd6 Clay Webb
A real head-scratcher, Clay Webb in pick No. 214 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at the 218th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jasheen Davis well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
