Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Chargers.

Nobody had Que Robinson this high, and it is not close. The Chargers reached 93 spots to get him at No. 158.

They banked enough surplus on Warren to cover a lot of smaller sins. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In No. 22 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They jumped the gun on Donovan Ezeiruaku, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at the 86th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick125 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Alexander. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick158 Rnd5 Que Robinson
Que Robinson in pick No. 158 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
They robbed the room for Damien Martinez here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick199 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at Round 6, Pick 23 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
They barely believed it either: Jaylen Reed still on the board at No. 209. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick214 Rnd6 Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson slid further than he should have, and slot 214 is lovely value for the wide receiver. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Somehow Jay Higgins was still sitting there in pick 218, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick255 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
