Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Downs should have been long gone. The Chargers pounced, and earned a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Caleb Downs, pick No. 86, roughly 85 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The cost of the Corleone reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 David Bailey
In the 22nd pick they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Dontay Corleone
They paid up for Dontay Corleone at the 55th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86 Rnd3 Caleb Downs
Caleb Downs at Round 3, Pick 22 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick123 Rnd4 Billy Schrauth
They took Billy Schrauth at par in pick 123, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kobe Baynes
Kobe Baynes at slot 202 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
