Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall D+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chargers for Johnson: D+.

The Joe Milton III pick is the one that will follow the Chargers into the fall. They took him 60 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. It grades a D+, and the process earned it.

Getting Johnson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Chargers indulged a want in Solomon while a need in edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Malik Nabers at pick No. 12. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, T.J. Tampa in pick 69, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 Blake Corum
They jumped the gun on Blake Corum, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105 Rnd4 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker in Round 4, Pick 5 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE and leaves edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick140 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the 140th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Elijah Jones
They will replay Elijah Jones at No. 144 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick181 Rnd6 Josh Newton
The board fumbled Josh Newton all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick225 Rnd7 Trente Jones
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 225 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in Round 7, Pick 33 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
