Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
Larceny in pick 159 lands the Chargers a B, Skattebo and all.

Somebody in pick No. 159 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Chargers sat still while Cam Skattebo, the No. 99 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

Frazier has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in pick 34 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick55 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Taking Omarion Hampton in the 55th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick65 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They let Alfred Collins come to them and pounced at pick No. 65. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech at the 86th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They went early on Jake Majors in No. 87, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104 Rnd4 David Walker
David Walker in slot 104 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in Round 5, Pick 20, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick177 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Somehow Tommi Hill was still sitting there in the 177th overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick183 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
A wild overpay on Miles Frazier in the 183rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick201 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Seth McLaughlin. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jordan Hancock at pick 215. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick220 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They took Isaac TeSlaa at par in slot 220, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253 Rnd7 Brady Cook
Brady Cook in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
