Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C

Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C for the Chargers.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Tyreem Powell, 324 picks early at slot 22. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C.

However the rest shakes out, Swinson at that price is a win they earned. With quarterback and running back unsolved, spending premium capital on specialist is the choice that costs them.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyreem Powell
Tyreem Powell at slot 22 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick55 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They let Xavier Watts come to them and pounced at the 55th overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
A wild overpay on Jordan Phillips in No. 86, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ryan Fitzgerald
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 23: Ryan Fitzgerald adds a specialist while quarterback and running back keeps waiting.
Pick158 Rnd5 Gunnar Helm
The board fumbled Gunnar Helm all the way to the 158th pick, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181 Rnd6 John Williams
John Williams at pick No. 181 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick199 Rnd6 Bradyn Swinson
You do not let an edge rusher like Bradyn Swinson reach pick No. 199 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick209 Rnd6 Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams in the 209th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jah Joyner
They will replay Jah Joyner at Round 6, Pick 38 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick256 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kaden Prather well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
