Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chargers for Gillotte: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Ashton Gillotte, the No. 97 name on the board, stolen at No. 209.

They will need Loop to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In the 22nd pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in pick No. 55 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon in the 86th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Donovan Jackson in No. 125, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick158 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Taking Quinshon Judkins in pick 158 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick181 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
A big swing on R.J. Mickens at Round 6, Pick 5, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick199 Rnd6 Robbie Ouzts
They reached a country mile for Robbie Ouzts at slot 199, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick209 Rnd6 Ashton Gillotte
Steal is underselling it; Ashton Gillotte at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick214 Rnd6 Mitchell Evans
You do not let a tight end like Mitchell Evans reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick218 Rnd7 Tyler Loop
Value said wait; Tyler Loop in slot 218 says they were not listening. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick255 Rnd7 Bam Martin-Scott
A real head-scratcher, Bam Martin-Scott in the 255th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
