Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
Speights should have been long gone. The Chargers pounced, and earned a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Chargers watched Omar Speights slide 34 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Barner reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In No. 7 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in slot 37 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick38 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Keon Coleman worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Junior Colson
They paid sticker price for Junior Colson in the 69th overall pick, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick106 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
They went early on Nelson Ceaser in Round 4, Pick 6, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
By-the-book stuff, Malik Mustapha at pick 139 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick183 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
They let LaDarius Henderson come to them and pounced at pick No. 183. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick184 Rnd6 AJ Barner
They reached a country mile for AJ Barner at the 184th pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
A tidy little value on Jawhar Jordan in No. 223, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick256 Rnd7 Omar Speights
You do not let a linebacker like Omar Speights reach pick 256 and blink. They did not. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
