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

Thirty-one other rooms let Danny Stutsman slide, and the Chargers were the ones holding the card at No. 197. Highway robbery.

Dellinger has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
A straight-up fair deal on Kenneth Grant at the Round 1 slot, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick55 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Taking Colston Loveland in Round 2, Pick 23 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They reached a country mile for Cam Skattebo at slot 86, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Somehow Dylan Fairchild was still sitting there in the 123rd overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at No. 157 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick179 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Circle this one: Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 179 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 Danny Stutsman
The board fumbled Danny Stutsman all the way to pick 197, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in the 208th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick213 Rnd6 Garrett Dellinger
They reached into another round for Garrett Dellinger, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick218 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in No. 218 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the 253rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
