Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers cashed the board's mistake on Watts: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Xavier Watts got past him. The Chargers do not have to explain a thing at the 84th overall pick. No fireworks, but a solid B.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Sturdivant lower, and that gap is the story. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 20th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Taking Omarion Hampton in Round 2, Pick 20 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in pick 84 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick121 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Somehow Luke Kandra was still sitting there in the 121st pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick157 Rnd5 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at slot 157 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick175 Rnd5 Gunnar Helm
A straight-up fair deal on Gunnar Helm at No. 175, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick181 Rnd6 Barrett Carter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Barrett Carter at pick No. 181. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick196 Rnd6 J.Michael Sturdivant
They jumped the gun on J.Michael Sturdivant, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 225 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy at No. 229 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick252 Rnd7 Makari Paige
By-the-book stuff, Makari Paige at the 252nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
