Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesD- FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Chargers to a B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Chargers did exactly that with Fabien Lovett in the 256th overall pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. The Jenkins steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In the 24th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Trey Benson
A real head-scratcher, Trey Benson in the Round 2 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the 56th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Junior Colson
No edge and no loss on Junior Colson in slot 69; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick106 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Nice patience on Zak Zinter, who had no business lasting to pick 106. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Beaux Limmer well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at Round 5, Pick 3 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Michael Barrett. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick223 Rnd7 Braiden McGregor
Value with a capital V on Braiden McGregor in No. 223, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick256 Rnd7 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett in pick No. 256 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
