Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC FutureA+
The Chargers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Theo Johnson pick is the one that will follow the Chargers into the fall. They took him 45 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

However the rest shakes out, Green at that price is a win they earned. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Trey Benson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Benson in pick No. 40, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins is a better player than pick 59 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Kiran Amegadjie worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in slot 85 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick106 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A big swing on Theo Johnson at No. 106, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
They paid sticker price for Kamal Hadden in pick No. 139, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Renardo Green
A safety of that caliber at the 181st pick is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
They talked themselves into Jaylen Harrell at the 183rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick223 Rnd7 Austin Stogner
They barely believed it either: Austin Stogner still on the board at Round 7, Pick 3. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick256 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
A swing that ignored the value entirely, DeMonte Capehart well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
