Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
B+
ValueB
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureB+
Grand theft in pick 59: the Chargers steal Echoles and grade out a B+. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Will Echoles got past him. The Chargers do not have to explain a thing at the 59th pick. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Brown has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick55
Rnd2
Charlie Becker
They paid up for Charlie Becker at pick 55 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick59
Rnd2
Will Echoles
Will Echoles in No. 59 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick60
Rnd2
Nick Marsh
Nick Marsh at slot 60 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick81
Rnd3
Samson Okunlola
A slide stopped in the 81st overall pick, with Samson Okunlola worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84
Rnd3
Peter Clarke
A reasonable price with a little left over, Peter Clarke in the 84th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick86
Rnd3
Luke Montgomery
Nothing to complain about; Luke Montgomery went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87
Rnd3
Kade Pieper
By-the-book stuff, Kade Pieper at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88
Rnd3
Jayden Maiava
They paid a round early for Jayden Maiava in pick No. 88, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123
Rnd4
Greg Johnson
They let Greg Johnson come to them and pounced at pick 123. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145
Rnd5
Mateen Ibirogba
Mateen Ibirogba at the Round 5 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick154
Rnd5
Ty Benefield
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Ty Benefield in the 154th pick, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick188
Rnd6
Niki Prongos
A straight-up fair deal on Niki Prongos at Round 6, Pick 9, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick202
Rnd6
C.J. Fite
C.J. Fite at No. 202 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223
Rnd7
La'khi Roland
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and La'khi Roland at slot 223 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227
Rnd7
Isaac Brown
Isaac Brown at pick No. 227 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick243
Rnd7
Austin Romaine
Austin Romaine at the 243rd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick244
Rnd7
Smith Snowden
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Smith Snowden in the Round 7 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick254
Rnd7
D'Antre Robinson
No drama and no debate, D'Antre Robinson went about where he belonged in pick 254. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
