Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers let Mondon Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The board owed the Chargers one, and it paid up: Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 105 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 198 like a gift left on the doorstep. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Stewart reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a load in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Warren at slot 55 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 Evan Stewart
They liked Evan Stewart enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 86. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick157 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in the 157th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick179 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
By-the-book stuff, Cam Skattebo at pick 179 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 198 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick208 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Taking Xavier Nwankpa in the 208th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick213 Rnd6 Terrance Ferguson
A tidy little value on Terrance Ferguson in pick No. 213, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd7 Harold Perkins Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Harold Perkins Jr. reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick252 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Somehow Donovan Edwards was still sitting there in slot 252, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
