Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chargers for Murphy: B.

Call it larceny. Gabriel Murphy sat on the board until No. 142, and the Chargers did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The cost of the All reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the 5th pick they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Guyton at pick 37 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Fair-plus on Javon Bullard, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick105 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at Round 4, Pick 5 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick142 Rnd5 Gabriel Murphy
Somehow Gabriel Murphy was still sitting there in the 142nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick183 Rnd6 Erick All
Value said wait; Erick All in slot 183 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick226 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They jumped the gun on Joshua Cephus, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
