Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Chargers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

The Kenny Logan Jr. selection is the head-turner. The Chargers reached 42 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Ali falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The veteran additions, Marcus Davenport chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

In the end it comes back to Brian Thomas Jr., and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 32nd pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A premium they did not need to pay, Kris Jenkins a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick61 Rnd2 Junior Colson
They read the board right and Junior Colson was the payoff at pick No. 61. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia is a better player than pick 69 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick72 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They paid sticker price for Mike Sainristil in Round 3, Pick 8, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at slot 95 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 106, where Brenden Rice graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at Round 4, Pick 25 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick140 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Sataoa Laumea at the 140th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick173 Rnd5 AJ Barner
They took AJ Barner at par in the 173rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick220 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at the Round 6 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick256 Rnd7 Josh Wallace
Josh Wallace at No. 256 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
Kenny Logan Jr. at slot 257 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
