Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers let Laube fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

When a board-topper like Dylan Laube slides to pick No. 225, you do not overthink it, and the Chargers did not.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 5 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at pick 37 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at the 69th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 5, where MarShawn Lloyd graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120 Rnd4 DJ James
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, DJ James in slot 120, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick140 Rnd5 Javon Foster
They will replay Javon Foster at pick No. 140 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick161 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Somehow Ainias Smith was still sitting there in the 161st pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181 Rnd6 James Williams
James Williams in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick225 Rnd7 Dylan Laube
You do not let a running back like Dylan Laube reach pick 225 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253 Rnd7 Trente Jones
Taking Trente Jones in the 253rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
