Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Chargers: B-.

The Chargers did not so much draft Shilo Sanders as overpay for him, 71 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Wilson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In pick 22 they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in pick No. 55 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
They jumped the gun on Ashton Gillotte, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick158 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Value with a capital V on Mitchell Evans in slot 158, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
No drama and no debate, Dont'e Thornton Jr. went about where he belonged in the 181st overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A quiet steal in slot 199: Jaylen Reed for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick209 Rnd6 Robert Longerbeam
Robert Longerbeam at pick 209 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick214 Rnd6 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the 214th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
