Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall

ValueB-
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Chargers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-. The trade table was a mismatch, and the Chargers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.
However the rest shakes out, Bullock at that price is a win they earned. The Travis reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Chargers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.
Pick Analysis
Pick52
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
They did well to land T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 52, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65
Rnd3
Junior Colson
A slide stopped in pick 65, with Junior Colson worth more than the price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick73
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
They took Mike Sainristil at par in the 73rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75
Rnd3
Blake Corum
They jumped the gun on Blake Corum, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
A straight-up fair deal on Zak Zinter at Round 4, Pick 1, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick108
Rnd4
Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at slot 108 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick110
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in No. 110 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in the 129th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at Round 5, Pick 4 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
Value said wait; Jordan Travis in pick No. 143 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick165
Rnd5
AJ Barner
AJ Barner at the 165th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylen Harrell this early at the 181st pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217
Rnd6
Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at No. 217 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick218
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick 218 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick220
Rnd6
Dominique Hampton
They paid a round early for Dominique Hampton in slot 220, more than the board wanted. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick225
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at the Round 7 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick228
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at pick No. 228 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick246
Rnd7
Kimani Vidal
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kimani Vidal. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250
Rnd7
Nathan Thomas
Circle this one: Nathan Thomas at the 250th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick253
Rnd7
Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus in the 253rd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick256
Rnd7
Josh Wallace
Josh Wallace at No. 256 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick257
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
They paid sticker price for Sam Hartman in slot 257, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
