Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueA NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in Round 6, Pick 37 lands the Chargers a B, Ferguson and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Terrance Ferguson, the No. 121 name on the board, stolen at No. 215. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 22nd overall pick they get a matchup weapon at tight end, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Circle this one: Jalon Walker at No. 55 is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick86 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
They robbed the room for Malaki Starks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick124 Rnd4 Savion Williams
You do not let a wide receiver like Savion Williams reach slot 124 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
The board fumbled Barrett Carter all the way to pick 159, and they scooped it up. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in pick No. 183, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at Round 6, Pick 23 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick215 Rnd6 Terrance Ferguson
A tight end of that caliber at pick No. 215 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
They will replay Ollie Gordon II at the 253rd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
