Draft Grade — Chargers

The Chargers cashed the board's mistake on Haulcy: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Chargers were there to profit. A.J. Haulcy, the No. 49 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 86th pick.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
No edge and no loss on Kayden McDonald in slot 22; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick55 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Value with a capital V on Emmanuel Pregnon in pick No. 55, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
Taking A.J. Haulcy in pick 86 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick123 Rnd4 Ted Hurst
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ted Hurst at No. 123. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204 Rnd6 Toriano Pride Jr.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Toriano Pride Jr.. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
