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

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Chargers would have aced it. Oluwafemi Oladejo at pick No. 159 is 79 spots clear of where he belonged.

Harvey at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 22nd pick they get a mismatch in the passing game. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick 55 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at No. 86 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 23: Jordan Phillips for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 159th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd5 Joshua Gray
A reach for Joshua Gray in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 6 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick201 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey at No. 201 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
They will replay Jaylen Reed at the 215th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick220 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Karene Reid in Round 7, Pick 2 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick253 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
The board fumbled Trevor Etienne all the way to pick 253, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
