Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB FutureB
More right than wrong for the Chargers, and a B- to prove it.

The Chargers did not so much draft Tyler Johnson as overpay for him, 168 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Rivers steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Suntarine Perkins
In pick 31 they get a bendy edge with upside, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Connor Lew
They liked Connor Lew enough to skip the value, taking him in the 60th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Chandler Rivers
Chandler Rivers in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92 Rnd3 Gracen Halton
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Gracen Halton. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95 Rnd3 Roderick Kearney
Roderick Kearney at pick No. 95 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Ahmaad Moses
The board had cheaper options than Ahmaad Moses at No. 123, and it noticed. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick132 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis in slot 132 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick143 Rnd5 Darius Taylor
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Darius Taylor in No. 143, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172 Rnd5 De'Zhaun Stribling
They jumped the gun on De'Zhaun Stribling, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick201 Rnd6 Tyler Johnson
Tyler Johnson at the 201st pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick236 Rnd7 TJ Metcalf
TJ Metcalf in the Round 7 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick246 Rnd7 Michael Trigg
Value said wait; Michael Trigg in pick 246 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Gentry Williams
They took Gentry Williams at par in Round 7, Pick 40, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
