Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD+
The Chargers turned the phones into found money: B.

Nobody else had Jacob Dobbs anywhere near Round 7, Pick 7. The Chargers did, by 183 spots, and that gap is the whole story. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick 6 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick22 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 22nd pick they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at slot 38 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kris Abrams-Draine
Good price on Kris Abrams-Draine in No. 39, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks in pick No. 50 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick70 Rnd3 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson at No. 70 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jackson Powers-Johnson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Value said wait; Junior Colson in pick No. 86 says they were not listening. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick106 Rnd4 Howard Cross III
They paid up for Howard Cross III at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
A big swing on Jordan Travis at pick 113, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at the 143rd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick184 Rnd6 Hayden Hatten
Hayden Hatten at Round 6, Pick 9 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jacob Dobbs
A wild overpay on Jacob Dobbs in slot 227, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jaden Shirden
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaden Shirden this early at the 239th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
