Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chargers for Smith: C+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Tykee Smith, pick 116, roughly 19 picks past where he belonged.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

So much rides on Rome Odunze that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 12 they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at slot 37 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They took Jackson Powers-Johnson at par in Round 2, Pick 15, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick50 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in pick 50 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at the 69th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A tidy little value on Blake Corum in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
No drama and no debate, Mike Sainristil went about where he belonged in No. 77. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick96 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in the 96th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Value with a capital V on Zak Zinter in slot 105, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
They will replay Tykee Smith at pick 116 for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick137 Rnd5 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon slid further than he should have, and Round 5, Pick 1 is lovely value for the cornerback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
Nothing to complain about; Cedric Gray went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick163 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Nice patience on Braelon Allen, who had no business lasting to the 163rd pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick183 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Fair-plus on Curtis Jacobs, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick222 Rnd7 Omar Speights
They let Omar Speights come to them and pounced at the 222nd overall pick. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
