Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureA+
More right than wrong for the Chargers, and a B+ to prove it.

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. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McClellan. Adding De'Von Achane by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at pick No. 37 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A premium they did not need to pay, Mike Sainristil a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Zak Zinter at No. 105. It fills a real need, too.
Pick142 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
No edge and no loss on Theo Johnson in pick 142; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick159 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick183 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A clean, defensible pick in the 183rd pick with a little surplus value in Michael Barrett. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
The board had Jase McClellan higher than the 226th overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
