Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
The Chargers land in the muddy middle: C+.

The Chargers put a flag in the ground for Jasheen Davis, 101 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

That Bassa pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Juwan Johnson deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

So much rides on Nick Emmanwori that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in pick 39 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick41 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at No. 41 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick55 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Colston Loveland worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jake Majors
The board had Jake Majors higher than the 110th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in pick No. 123 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick157 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dont'e Thornton Jr.. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They reached a country mile for JJ Pegues at the 163rd overall pick, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at pick 197 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jasheen Davis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jasheen Davis well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
They paid sticker price for Terrance Ferguson in No. 218, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
Value said wait; J.J. Weaver in pick No. 253 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
