Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Chargers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Chargers would have aced it. Sedrick Van Pran at the 54th pick is 36 spots clear of where he belonged.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Colson pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman and quarterback. The Darius Slayton pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the Round 1 slot they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at Round 2, Pick 5 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
No edge and no loss on Tyler Guyton in pick 43; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick54 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at the 54th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A straight-up fair deal on Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 58, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick65 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They took Brenden Rice at par in slot 65, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at pick 67 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Blake Corum
No drama and no debate, Blake Corum went about where he belonged in slot 69. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70 Rnd3 Junior Colson
A want over a need in the 70th pick: Junior Colson adds a linebacker while interior defensive lineman and quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick109 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Good price on Khyree Jackson in No. 109, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
