Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Nobody had Devin Culp this high, and it is not close. The Chargers reached 78 spots to get him at No. 225. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton is a better player than the 37th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Blake Corum
They went early on Blake Corum in No. 69, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
They took Zak Zinter at par in pick 105, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
They read the board right and Brenden Rice was the payoff at pick No. 111. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140 Rnd5 Hunter Nourzad
A conviction pick on Hunter Nourzad at the 140th pick that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick181 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in the 181st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225 Rnd7 Devin Culp
They reached a country mile for Devin Culp at No. 225, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253 Rnd7 Trente Jones
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Trente Jones in slot 253, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at pick No. 256 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
