Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Chargers and Legette: A.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Xavier Legette, Round 4, Pick 4, roughly 30 picks past where he belonged. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

The Josh Jacobs deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Nice patience on Quinyon Mitchell, who had no business lasting to pick 34. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at the 69th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104 Rnd4 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at No. 104 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A cornerback of that caliber at the 106th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139 Rnd5 James Williams
They will replay James Williams at pick No. 139 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick183 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
They read the board right and Anthony Gould was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 8. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing JD Bertrand in slot 223. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick256 Rnd7 KT Leveston
Circle this one: KT Leveston at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
