Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Larceny in the 183rd overall pick lands the Chargers a B, Bryant and all.

The Chargers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Pat Bryant fell into the 183rd pick. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They are betting Cook proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value.
Pick55 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the 55th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick62 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at slot 62 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Somehow Jayden Higgins was still sitting there in the 86th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in No. 97 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Alexander. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick159 Rnd5 Cody Simon
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Cody Simon in pick No. 159, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick177 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
By-the-book stuff, Cobee Bryant at pick 177 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick183 Rnd6 Pat Bryant
The board fumbled Pat Bryant all the way to pick 183, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Taking Jaylen Reed in the 201st overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley in pick No. 220 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253 Rnd7 Brady Cook
They paid up for Brady Cook at the Round 7 slot when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
