Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
D+
ValueA
NeedC
TradesF
FutureA+
The Chargers let Hoover fall into their laps, and walked away with a D+. The Chargers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Josh Hoover fell into No. 243.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 2 of 2 of the wish list covered.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Jeremiah Smith
In pick 2 they get a No. 1 receiver. Need was not the driver here.
Pick16
Rnd1
Matayo Uiagalelei
In slot 16 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Carter Smith
Somehow Carter Smith was still sitting there in No. 33, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick34
Rnd2
Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
They barely believed it either: Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa still on the board at the Round 2 slot. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick38
Rnd2
KJ Bolden
Steal is underselling it; KJ Bolden at the 38th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick42
Rnd2
Cayden Green
You do not let an offensive lineman like Cayden Green reach Round 2, Pick 10 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick44
Rnd2
David Stone
David Stone at pick No. 44 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick53
Rnd2
Duce Robinson
They robbed the room for Duce Robinson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick56
Rnd2
Zabien Brown
Zabien Brown in slot 56 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick59
Rnd2
Will Echoles
Will Echoles at Round 2, Pick 27 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick65
Rnd3
Teitum Tuioti
They will replay Teitum Tuioti at the 65th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67
Rnd3
Ahmad Hardy
A running back of that caliber at No. 67 is the definition of value, full stop. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick69
Rnd3
Dashawn Spears
Dashawn Spears in the 69th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick70
Rnd3
Trey'Dez Green
Taking Trey'Dez Green in pick No. 70 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick75
Rnd3
Justin Scott
Justin Scott in pick 75 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick76
Rnd3
Trevor Goosby
Circle this one: Trevor Goosby at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81
Rnd3
Dante Moore
The board fumbled Dante Moore all the way to pick No. 81, and they scooped it up. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick82
Rnd3
Suntarine Perkins
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Suntarine Perkins in Round 3, Pick 18, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick83
Rnd3
Jamari Johnson
Jamari Johnson at the 83rd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick85
Rnd3
A'Mauri Washington
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, A'Mauri Washington in the 85th overall pick, plain and simple. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick86
Rnd3
Austin Siereveld
They barely believed it either: Austin Siereveld still on the board at pick 86. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87
Rnd3
Tae Johnson
Tae Johnson at slot 87 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick88
Rnd3
KJ Duff
They robbed the room for KJ Duff here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick92
Rnd3
Trevor Lauck
You do not let an offensive lineman like Trevor Lauck reach No. 92 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick96
Rnd3
Brice Pollock
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 32 is the definition of value, full stop. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick97
Rnd3
Charlie Becker
The board fumbled Charlie Becker all the way to the 97th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jadan Baugh
They will replay Jadan Baugh at pick No. 99 for years; that is how good the value is. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick100
Rnd3
Drew Mestemaker
Drew Mestemaker in slot 100 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick103
Rnd4
Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper is a better player than pick 103 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106
Rnd4
Rasheem Biles
Steal is underselling it; Rasheem Biles at the 106th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick107
Rnd4
Boubacar Traore
Boubacar Traore in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick113
Rnd4
Ryan Wingo
Circle this one: Ryan Wingo at No. 113 is a fall that decides a draft. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jacarrius Peak
Jacarrius Peak at slot 115 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick117
Rnd4
Luke Montgomery
Taking Luke Montgomery in Round 4, Pick 17 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119
Rnd4
John Henry Daley
Somehow John Henry Daley was still sitting there in pick No. 119, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123
Rnd4
Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
Kenyatta Jackson Jr. in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124
Rnd4
LJ Martin
LJ Martin at pick 124 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick127
Rnd4
Princewill Umanmielen
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Princewill Umanmielen in the 127th overall pick, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick128
Rnd4
Evan Tengesdahl
You do not let an offensive lineman like Evan Tengesdahl reach No. 128 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133
Rnd4
Bear Alexander
Taking Bear Alexander in the 133rd pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick138
Rnd4
Sammy Brown
Sammy Brown at pick No. 138 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick139
Rnd5
Will Heldt
They robbed the room for Will Heldt here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143
Rnd5
Anthony Smith
Anthony Smith at slot 143 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144
Rnd5
Wyatt Young
Steal is underselling it; Wyatt Young at the 144th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick147
Rnd5
Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb at the 147th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick152
Rnd5
Kelley Jones
The board fumbled Kelley Jones all the way to No. 152, and they scooped it up. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick154
Rnd5
Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson in pick 154 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick156
Rnd5
Omarion Miller
They will replay Omarion Miller at Round 5, Pick 18 for years; that is how good the value is. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick157
Rnd5
Mateen Ibirogba
Mateen Ibirogba in the 157th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick160
Rnd5
Walker Lyons
A tight end of that caliber at No. 160 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick161
Rnd5
Ahmad Moten Sr.
They barely believed it either: Ahmad Moten Sr. still on the board at the Round 5 slot. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick162
Rnd5
Kewan Lacy
Kewan Lacy in the 162nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick164
Rnd5

Rnd5

Rnd5

Pick175

Pick184

Pick191
Rnd6

Pick192
Rnd6
Blake Frazier

Pick194
Rnd6
