Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Thor Griffith at pick No. 214 is 98 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

Landing Dike that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 22 they get a three-down runner, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
A tidy bit of business in the 55th pick, where Landon Jackson graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Circle this one: Jack Bech at pick 86 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Somehow Gunnar Helm was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick158 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in the 158th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III in slot 181 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick199 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in No. 199. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
You do not let a linebacker like Jack Kiser reach the 209th pick and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick214 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at slot 214 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick256 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
They robbed the room for Chimere Dike here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
