DBOLTZA DRAFTING FOR THEChargers

Draft Grade — Chargers

FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Chargers: B. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Chargers took J.J. Weaver a full 154 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.
The Dike value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Taking Tyler Warren in No. 39 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick41
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
They barely believed it either: Kenneth Grant still on the board at the 41st pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick55
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in the 55th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter in slot 86 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123
Rnd4
Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at Round 4, Pick 23 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128
Rnd4
Pat Bryant
A conviction pick on Pat Bryant at slot 128 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick159
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
They took Jonah Monheim at par in Round 5, Pick 20, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick177
Rnd5
Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183
Rnd6
Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in the 183rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick201
Rnd6
R.J. Mickens
No drama and no debate, R.J. Mickens went about where he belonged in No. 201. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick213
Rnd6
Barryn Sorrell
Value said wait; Barryn Sorrell in pick 213 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick215
Rnd6
Jasheen Davis
They reached into another round for Jasheen Davis, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick220
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at pick No. 220 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick253
Rnd7
Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike in the 253rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
