Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedA- TradesB FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Chargers and Stone: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let David Stone slide, and the Chargers were the ones holding the card at the Round 3 slot. Highway robbery.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The Benefield pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at cornerback, quarterback and other spots.

Josh Oliver gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Colin Simmons
In pick No. 1 they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick65 Rnd3 David Stone
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, David Stone in No. 65, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100 Rnd3 Ty Benefield
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Ty Benefield in the Round 3 slot leaves cornerback, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick106 Rnd4 Nyck Harbor
They went early on Nyck Harbor in Round 4, Pick 4, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jackson Bennee
They will replay Jackson Bennee at slot 140 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jordan Marshall
A reach for Jordan Marshall in the 158th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick222 Rnd7 Coen Echols
A tidy bit of business in pick 222, where Coen Echols graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233 Rnd7 Malachi Breland
No drama and no debate, Malachi Breland went about where he belonged in the 233rd pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
