Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall

FutureB
The Chargers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-. The rest of the league had time to spare on PJ Williams; the Chargers did not wait, grabbing him 36 spots ahead at pick No. 202.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
On value alone, Slaughter makes the weekend a net positive.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Olaivavega Ioane
In pick 22 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick65
Rnd3
Domonique Orange
They went early on Domonique Orange in the 65th pick, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
The board fumbled Jake Slaughter all the way to No. 69, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86
Rnd3
Kamari Ramsey
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kamari Ramsey in slot 86, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick130
Rnd4
Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens at the 130th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick153
Rnd5
Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker at Round 5, Pick 15 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick202
Rnd6
PJ Williams
A real head-scratcher, PJ Williams in pick 202 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217
Rnd7
De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling at slot 217 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick229
Rnd7
Tony Grimes
A conviction pick on Tony Grimes at the 229th overall pick that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234
Rnd7
Jaylon Braxton
They paid a round early for Jaylon Braxton in No. 234, more than the board wanted. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick246
Rnd7
Micah Morris
A premium they did not need to pay, Micah Morris a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
