Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Chargers: C.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Chargers reached some 172 spots for Davin Vann, and value like that does not grow back. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C.

Grant falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Bradyn Swinson
In No. 22 they get juice off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jah Joyner
Jah Joyner at pick 55 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Davin Vann
Value said wait; Davin Vann in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Simeon Barrow Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Simeon Barrow Jr. in slot 125, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick158 Rnd5 Charles Grant
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Charles Grant in the 158th pick, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick181 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at pick No. 181 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick199 Rnd6 Nick Nash
The board fumbled Nick Nash all the way to the 199th overall pick, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Craig Woodson
Nothing to complain about; Craig Woodson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick214 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
No edge and no loss on Cam Jackson in pick No. 214; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218 Rnd7 Mose Vavao
They talked themselves into Mose Vavao at No. 218, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255 Rnd7 Sam Brown
Somehow Sam Brown was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 39, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
