Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers let Devonshire fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let M.J. Devonshire slide, and the Chargers were the ones holding the card at No. 225. Highway robbery. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 5th pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Fair-plus on Troy Franklin, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeremiah Trotter Jr.. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick105 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
No drama and no debate, Braelon Allen went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at No. 110 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in Round 5, Pick 4 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick181 Rnd6 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at the 181st overall pick is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 M.J. Devonshire
Somehow M.J. Devonshire was still sitting there in pick No. 225, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick253 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
They took Kimani Vidal at par in Round 7, Pick 33, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
