Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
B+
ValueA+
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureD
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Chargers and Hill: B+. The rest of the league will want that one back. Jyaire Hill tumbling to the Chargers in No. 252 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Chargers paired the rookies with proven help, Ashton Jeanty leading the way.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
Carter Smith
Taking Carter Smith in No. 35 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick55
Rnd2
Cayden Green
They will replay Cayden Green at pick No. 55 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick66
Rnd3
Will Echoles
The board fumbled Will Echoles all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75
Rnd3
Duce Robinson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Duce Robinson in the 75th pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86
Rnd3
Teitum Tuioti
Somehow Teitum Tuioti was still sitting there in pick 86, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87
Rnd3
Chris Cole
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 23 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick90
Rnd3
Brice Pollock
Circle this one: Brice Pollock at slot 90 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jamari Johnson
They robbed the room for Jamari Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick101
Rnd4
Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby at No. 101 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105
Rnd4
A'Mauri Washington
They barely believed it either: A'Mauri Washington still on the board at Round 4, Pick 5. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106
Rnd4
KJ Duff
KJ Duff in pick No. 106 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick108
Rnd4
Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick117
Rnd4
John Henry Daley
John Henry Daley at the 117th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123
Rnd4
Dante Moore
Dante Moore in slot 123 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick141
Rnd5
Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper in pick 141 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick164
Rnd5
Rasheem Biles
Steal is underselling it; Rasheem Biles at the 164th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick175
Rnd5
Wyatt Young
You do not let a wide receiver like Wyatt Young reach No. 175 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick178
Rnd5
Trevor Lauck
You do not let an offensive lineman like Trevor Lauck reach pick No. 178 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181
Rnd6
Luke Montgomery
Luke Montgomery at pick 181 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick184
Rnd6
LJ Martin
Steal is underselling it; LJ Martin at slot 184 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick190
Rnd6
Walker Lyons
Walker Lyons at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick192
Rnd6
Bear Alexander
They robbed the room for Bear Alexander here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick202
Rnd6
Kelley Jones
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kelley Jones in the 202nd pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206
Rnd6
Austin Siereveld
The board fumbled Austin Siereveld all the way to Round 6, Pick 27, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick210
Rnd6
Will Heldt
Will Heldt in slot 210 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219
Rnd7
Mateen Ibirogba
They will replay Mateen Ibirogba at Round 7, Pick 3 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick243
Rnd7
Peter Clarke
Taking Peter Clarke in pick No. 243 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249
Rnd7
Ahmad Moten Sr.
Ahmad Moten Sr. at the 249th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252
Rnd7
Jyaire Hill
Jyaire Hill in pick 252 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick254
Rnd7
Elijah Paige
They barely believed it either: Elijah Paige still on the board at the 254th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick257
Rnd7
Devin McCuin
Devin McCuin in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
