Adding youthful athleticism to a receiving corps that is getting a bit older and injury prone, the Chargers bring in a big receiver with speed in Quentin Johnston. The TCU star has been dinged for a few drops and uneven technique off the line of scrimmage, but his speed and catch radius make him an instant deep threat for Justin Herbert and a logical successor to Mike Williams. Grade: A-

The Chargers tick off another area of need in Round 2 with USC DE Tuli Tuipulotu. A high-motor end who racked up 21 sacks with the Trojans, Tuipulotu will add needed depth and youth to the Chargers' pass rush after his short move across town. Grade: B+

The Chargers added hustle and athleticism to their defense with Washington State's unpolished Daiyan Henley. Henley is a good athlete with speed but his technique is raw as he has played several positions through his football career. With development his athletic talents will add depth to the Chargers LB room. Grade: C

Reach/Value (R/V) Explained
The difference between where a player is selected in the NFL draft versus where the player was listed on the final Drafttek Big Board for the season in question.Example: A player who was listed at #50 on the Big Board and was selected at #35 will be a "Reach" of -15. Alternately, a player listed at #35 on the Big Board who was selected at #50 is a +15 "Value".
Simply put: a positive number is a Value pick, a negative number is a Reach.
