Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureB-
The jury is out on the Chargers. For now, C+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with DeWayne Carter at pick 69, a reach of 34 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Grable. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In No. 11 they get a potential shutdown corner, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keon Coleman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
A swing that ignored the value entirely, DeWayne Carter well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They paid up for Cedric Gray at the 105th pick when waiting would have done the job. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick108 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick140 Rnd5 Hunter Nourzad
A big swing on Hunter Nourzad at pick No. 140, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick181 Rnd6 Logan Lee
A wild overpay on Logan Lee in slot 181, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick225 Rnd7 Keith Randolph Jr.
Good price on Keith Randolph Jr. in pick 225, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick253 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Taking Tylan Grable in the 253rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
