Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Chargers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Chargers went off the board in a big way for Jamari Lyons, 55 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Downs falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick No. 25 they get a downhill hitter at safety, outstanding value to boot.
Pick55 Rnd2 Matayo Uiagalelei
No drama and no debate, Matayo Uiagalelei went about where he belonged in the 55th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Johntay Cook II
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Johntay Cook II at the Round 3 slot is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Josh Moten
Good price on Josh Moten in Round 3, Pick 25, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
Value said wait; Jaishawn Barham in pick 123 says they were not listening. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jamari Lyons
They talked themselves into Jamari Lyons at the 162nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick201 Rnd6 Tony Grimes
Tony Grimes at the 201st overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick236 Rnd7 TJ Ferguson
No edge and no loss on TJ Ferguson in the 236th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick256 Rnd7 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels at slot 256 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
