Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC- FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Chargers and Cooper Jr.: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Ryan Cooper Jr., the No. 230 name on the board, stolen at the 256th overall pick.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Ford pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the Round 1 slot they get a seam-stretching tight end at fair value.
Pick37 Rnd2 JC Latham
JC Latham at pick 37 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick69 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at Round 3, Pick 5 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
No drama and no debate, Isaac Guerendo went about where he belonged in the 106th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A straight-up fair deal on Cole Bishop at slot 111, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kalen King
No edge and no loss on Kalen King in No. 139; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaylan Ford a notch or two before his time. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick223 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Frank Gore Jr.. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick256 Rnd7 Ryan Cooper Jr.
They will replay Ryan Cooper Jr. at the 256th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
