Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers robbed the room for Mullings. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kalel Mullings, the No. 108 name on the board, stolen at pick 213.

The cost of the Davis reach is exactly the players who went right after him. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
A tidy little value on Luther Burden III in pick No. 22, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Somehow Tyler Booker was still sitting there in No. 55, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Taking Jihaad Campbell in pick 86 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick123 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in the 123rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick157 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Circle this one: Oronde Gadsden II at Round 5, Pick 20 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jake Majors
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick197 Rnd6 CJ West
A straight-up fair deal on CJ West at slot 197, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick208 Rnd6 Nick Nash
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nick Nash. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Kalel Mullings
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kalel Mullings in pick 213, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis in pick No. 218 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
