Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Chargers.

The Chargers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 256 on Tyler Johnson a full 113 spots early.

The Pena pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In the 30th pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, outstanding value to boot.
Pick51 Rnd2 Max Klare
Steal is underselling it; Max Klare at Round 2, Pick 19 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87 Rnd3 Gabe Jacas
No drama and no debate, Gabe Jacas went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
A reasonable price with a little left over, D'Angelo Ponds in the 94th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at pick No. 123 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136 Rnd4 DJ Campbell
They reached into another round for DJ Campbell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick170 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan in pick No. 170 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jamal Haynes
Jamal Haynes slid further than he should have, and the 175th overall pick is lovely value for the running back. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Trebor Pena
Somehow Trebor Pena was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jalen Catalon
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalen Catalon at Round 7, Pick 20 is the proof. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick256 Rnd7 Tyler Johnson
A big swing on Tyler Johnson at No. 256, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
