Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD FutureA+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Chargers: B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Drake Nugent at the 105th pick is 39 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 19 they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman is a better player than No. 37 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick51 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 51 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Trey Benson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Benson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick105 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
A real head-scratcher, Drake Nugent in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick142 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
A premium they did not need to pay, LaDarius Henderson a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Good price on Michael Barrett in No. 183, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick226 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They read the board right and Brevyn Spann-Ford was the payoff at the 226th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
