Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Chargers, and a B- to prove it.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Chargers reached some 142 spots for Jasheen Davis, and value like that does not grow back. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Landing Nelson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 22nd overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at slot 55 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor is a better player than Round 3, Pick 22 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings in No. 159 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick177 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell in pick No. 177 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
By-the-book stuff, Roc Taylor at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jasheen Davis
They reached a country mile for Jasheen Davis at slot 201, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Woody Marks
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Woody Marks in pick No. 215, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jack Nelson
Somehow Jack Nelson was still sitting there in the 220th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A real head-scratcher, Shilo Sanders in Round 7, Pick 35 is miles ahead of his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
