Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Larceny in the Round 4 slot lands the Chargers a A-, Bullock and all.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Chargers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

However the rest shakes out, Bullock at that price is a win they earned. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

The veteran additions, Larry Ogunjobi chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Chop Robinson and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A quiet steal in pick No. 36: Chop Robinson for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
A tidy bit of business in slot 37, where Tyler Guyton graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick51 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in the 51st overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A straight-up fair deal on Sedrick Van Pran at the 67th pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ruke Orhorhoro. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at Round 3, Pick 14 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick84 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at No. 84 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at the 105th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick110 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice slid further than he should have, and pick No. 110 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick140 Rnd5 Kalen King
Kalen King at slot 140 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178 Rnd6 AJ Barner
A tidy little value on AJ Barner in the 178th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Javion Cohen
They let Javion Cohen come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at pick 225 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick253 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
A slide stopped in Round 7, Pick 33, with Josh Proctor worth more than the price. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
