Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers won the night they stopped Tuten from sliding. Grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Bhayshul Tuten got past him. The Chargers do not have to explain a thing at the 214th overall pick.

Reaching for Baron left real value on the table behind him. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In the 22nd overall pick they get a premier pass rusher, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in pick No. 55 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick86 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo slipping to slot 86 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyler Baron. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick158 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in Round 5, Pick 20 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ajani Cornelius in No. 181. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick199 Rnd6 RJ Oben
RJ Oben at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick209 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at the 209th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick214 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
You do not let a running back like Bhayshul Tuten reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick256 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
They paid sticker price for Sam Brown Jr. in pick 256, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
