Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA- FutureA+
The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B+.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Chargers never addressed interior defensive lineman, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

Every board in the league had Jackson lower, and that gap is the story. The Tyrann Mathieu deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Legette at the 38th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71 Rnd3 Rod Moore
No drama and no debate, Rod Moore went about where he belonged in pick 71. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick106 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in No. 106 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
A conviction pick on Darius Robinson at slot 143 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick184 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick No. 184 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick227 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the 227th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
