Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Nobody had Bru McCoy this high, and it is not close. The Chargers reached 119 spots to get him at pick 180. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 25 they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A slide stopped in pick 57, with Tyler Warren worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Alfred Collins in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Somehow Jake Majors was still sitting there in the 126th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick160 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in No. 160 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bru McCoy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick200 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at the 200th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick208 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Circle this one: Xavier Nwankpa at No. 208 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They barely believed it either: Jay Higgins still on the board at the 213th overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick218 Rnd7 Rod Moore
They will replay Rod Moore at Round 7, Pick 2 for years; that is how good the value is. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick252 Rnd7 Javontez Spraggins
They reached into another round for Javontez Spraggins, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
