Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chargers: B-.

The John Williams pick is the one that will follow the Chargers into the fall. They took him 89 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Getting Gordon II where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at slot 55 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Omarr Norman-Lott at the 86th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at the 125th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick158 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at pick No. 158 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick181 Rnd6 John Williams
John Williams at pick 181 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick199 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in pick No. 199 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick209 Rnd6 Simeon Barrow Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Simeon Barrow Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jalen McLeod
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalen McLeod. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick256 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
A wild overpay on De'Corian Clark in pick 256, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
