Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Nobody else had Tonka Hemingway anywhere near the 214th pick. The Chargers did, by 38 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Thornton Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 22nd overall pick they get a mismatch in the passing game. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at Round 2, Pick 23 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
They paid a round early for Pat Bryant in pick No. 125, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick158 Rnd5 Joshua Gray
A wild overpay on Joshua Gray in No. 158, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick181 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board had Dont'e Thornton Jr. higher than pick 181, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They took Jack Kiser at par in pick No. 199, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick209 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
They reached into another round for Seth McLaughlin, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick214 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
A big swing on Tonka Hemingway at the 214th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
