Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chargers: B.

There is reaching, and then there is Dasan McCullough at No. 257. The Chargers jumped the board by 66 and dared it to prove them wrong. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Hecht falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge at pick 62 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
No edge and no loss on Zakee Wheatley in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick106 Rnd4 Max Klare
Max Klare in the 106th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
A straight-up fair deal on Tacario Davis at slot 108, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
Circle this one: Sam Hecht at the 123rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick129 Rnd4 Max Llewellyn
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Max Llewellyn well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick167 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Zane Durant in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kendrick Law
Kendrick Law in pick No. 204 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick257 Rnd7 Dasan McCullough
They reached into another round for Dasan McCullough, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
