Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chargers for Majors: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jake Majors at the Round 5 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Reaching for Nash left real value on the table behind him. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kenneth Grant. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick57 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
They read the board right and Colston Loveland was the payoff at No. 57. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Tez Johnson at the 89th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
They will replay Barrett Carter at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at Round 5, Pick 23 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick180 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick 180 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
They let Jordan Hancock come to them and pounced at slot 200. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick208 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in the 208th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick213 Rnd6 Ricardo Hallman
Ricardo Hallman in pick 213 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick218 Rnd7 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the 218th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jack Kiser in Round 7, Pick 36, plain and simple. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
