Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC FutureB+
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Chargers: B.

For all the boxes ticked, the Chargers skipped the loudest one: edge rusher is exactly as bare as it was. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The cost of the Smith reach is exactly the players who went right after him. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick No. 17 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A straight-up fair deal on TreVeyon Henderson at pick 47, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick80 Rnd3 Josh Simmons
Josh Simmons at slot 80 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 111 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jaheim Oatis
No drama and no debate, Jaheim Oatis went about where he belonged in the 143rd overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162 Rnd6 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in Round 6, Pick 2 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick175 Rnd6 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson is a better player than the Round 6 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207 Rnd7 Tosh Baker
A quiet steal in the 207th pick: Tosh Baker for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick209 Rnd7 Tim Smith
They paid a round early for Tim Smith in the 209th overall pick, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
