Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Chargers robbed the room for Winston Jr.. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kevin Winston Jr., the No. 104 name on the board, stolen at the 177th overall pick.

The Webb reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Ashton Gillotte
In the 30th overall pick they get juice off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
A reach on Donovan Ezeiruaku in Round 2, Pick 23; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A reasonable price with a little left over, Alfred Collins in the 62nd pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at pick No. 86 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cody Simon
They paid a round early for Cody Simon in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick159 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
A running back of that caliber at slot 159 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick177 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
They barely believed it either: Kevin Winston Jr. still on the board at pick 177. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick183 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
No drama and no debate, Cobee Bryant went about where he belonged in No. 183. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick201 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West at pick 201 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Value with a capital V on Jack Kiser in the Round 6 slot, a genuine coup. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick220 Rnd7 Clay Webb
They reached a country mile for Clay Webb at the 220th pick, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
Fair-plus on Marcus Yarns, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
