Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall D+
ValueB NeedA- TradesF FutureC
The Chargers won the night they stopped Wilson from sliding. Grade: D+.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Chargers, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Hard to defend, and the D+ reflects that.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Reaching for Barner left real value on the table behind him. Landing Wilson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In pick 5 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Chop Robinson at slot 37, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the 56th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick85 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in Round 3, Pick 22 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at the 93rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick105 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
You do not let a wide receiver like Roman Wilson reach Round 4, Pick 5 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick142 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
By-the-book stuff, Ben Sinnott at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick183 Rnd6 AJ Barner
They jumped the gun on AJ Barner, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Blake Watson
They took Blake Watson at par in slot 226, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
