Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in slot 253 lands the Chargers a B-, Mafah and all.

Call it larceny. Phil Mafah sat on the board until the 253rd overall pick, and the Chargers did not need to be asked twice.

The Horn Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tate Ratledge
In pick 22 they get protection for the quarterback, reach and all.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Value with a capital V on Tyler Warren in No. 55, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jake Majors
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jake Majors. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo slid further than he should have, and pick No. 123 is lovely value for the running back. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick157 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach slot 157 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick179 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Steal is underselling it; Oronde Gadsden II at the 179th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
They read the board right and Jordan Hancock was the payoff at the 197th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick213 Rnd6 Kobe King
Kobe King in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick218 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Bru McCoy well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Phil Mafah in pick No. 253, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
