Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
B
ValueB
NeedB
TradesB
FutureC
The Chargers won the night they stopped Pieper from sliding. Grade: B. The board owed the Chargers one, and it paid up: Kade Pieper, the No. 47 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 102 like a gift left on the doorstep. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
It is not that Mayo is a bad player; it is that the Chargers had louder needs to answer first. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They are betting Ibirogba proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Trevor Goosby
In No. 14 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Justin Scott
In the 26th overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Charlie Becker
They paid sticker price for Charlie Becker in pick 33, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick56
Rnd2
Nate Frazier
No drama and no debate, Nate Frazier went about where he belonged in slot 56. It fills a real need, too.
Pick65
Rnd3
Will Echoles
Will Echoles in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77
Rnd3
Devan Thompkins
A clean, defensible pick in the 77th pick with a little surplus value in Devan Thompkins. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102
Rnd4
Kade Pieper
They barely believed it either: Kade Pieper still on the board at Round 4, Pick 1. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick134
Rnd4
Jalen Mayo
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jalen Mayo at defensive back with quarterback open.
Pick138
Rnd5
Anthony Boswell
Anthony Boswell in slot 138 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156
Rnd5
A.J. Harris
A.J. Harris at No. 156 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick158
Rnd5
Mateen Ibirogba
The board had cheaper options than Mateen Ibirogba at pick No. 158, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169
Rnd5
Walker Lyons
Walker Lyons at Round 5, Pick 32 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick221
Rnd7
Payton Pierce
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Pierce. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick234
Rnd7
Austin Kawecki
By-the-book stuff, Austin Kawecki at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
