Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureA
Larceny in the Round 2 slot lands the Chargers a B+, McKinstry and all.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named interior defensive lineman, a need the Chargers walked right past.

The McKinstry pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If Murphy pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
Fair-plus on Cooper DeJean, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kool-Aid McKinstry in the 37th pick, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
The board had cheaper options than Jonathon Brooks at No. 51, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick69 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at slot 69 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick105 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A tidy little value on Blake Fisher in pick 105, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
