Draft Grade — Chargers

TradesF
FutureB-
The Chargers robbed the room for Young. Final grade: D. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Wyatt Young got past him. The Chargers do not have to explain a thing at the 230th pick.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Jeremiah Smith
In pick 22 they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick42
Rnd2
Matayo Uiagalelei
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Matayo Uiagalelei in slot 42, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick55
Rnd2
Carter Smith
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 55 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75
Rnd3
Teitum Tuioti
Teitum Tuioti in the 75th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86
Rnd3
David Stone
Somehow David Stone was still sitting there in pick No. 86, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick87
Rnd3
A.J. Holmes Jr.
Taking A.J. Holmes Jr. in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick88
Rnd3
Cayden Green
They robbed the room for Cayden Green here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick99
Rnd3
Brice Pollock
Brice Pollock in Round 3, Pick 35 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick100
Rnd3
Mark Fletcher Jr.
They barely believed it either: Mark Fletcher Jr. still on the board at pick No. 100. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick106
Rnd4
Jayden Maiava
Jayden Maiava at the 106th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick123
Rnd4
Duce Robinson
They will replay Duce Robinson at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick128
Rnd4
Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby in No. 128 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jamari Johnson
Circle this one: Jamari Johnson at the 139th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick144
Rnd5
Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper at pick 144 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick147
Rnd5
Dashawn Spears
Steal is underselling it; Dashawn Spears at Round 5, Pick 9 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick152
Rnd5
A'Mauri Washington
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like A'Mauri Washington reach slot 152 and blink. They did not. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick160
Rnd5
Austin Siereveld
The board fumbled Austin Siereveld all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick172
Rnd5
Rasheem Biles
Rasheem Biles at the 172nd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick173
Rnd5
Trevor Lauck
Trevor Lauck at pick No. 173 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick175
Rnd5
Ryan Wingo
Ryan Wingo in Round 5, Pick 37 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick178
Rnd5
Kewan Lacy
They robbed the room for Kewan Lacy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick184
Rnd6
LJ Martin
Circle this one: LJ Martin at pick 184 is a fall that decides a draft. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick190
Rnd6
Jelani McDonald
Jelani McDonald in slot 190 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick191
Rnd6
Bear Alexander
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Bear Alexander in the 191st pick, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick192
Rnd6
Will Heldt
You do not let an edge rusher like Will Heldt reach slot 192 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick202
Rnd6
Ahmad Moten Sr.
Ahmad Moten Sr. at pick No. 202 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick204
Rnd6
Luke Montgomery
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick206
Rnd6
Evan Tengesdahl
Evan Tengesdahl at pick 206 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick210
Rnd6
Kelley Jones
They barely believed it either: Kelley Jones still on the board at Round 6, Pick 31. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick216
Rnd6
Walker Lyons
They will replay Walker Lyons at the 216th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick218
Rnd7
Anthony Smith
Anthony Smith at the 218th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224
Rnd7
Mateen Ibirogba
The board fumbled Mateen Ibirogba all the way to No. 224, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227
Rnd7
Jyaire Hill
Jyaire Hill in pick 227 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick230
Rnd7
Wyatt Young
Taking Wyatt Young in pick No. 230 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick233
Rnd7
Keon Sabb
Somehow Keon Sabb was still sitting there in slot 233, and they pounced on premier safety value. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick236
Rnd7
Omarion Miller
Steal is underselling it; Omarion Miller at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick237
Rnd7
Darian Mensah
Darian Mensah at the 237th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick242
Rnd7
Amare Ferrell
Circle this one: Amare Ferrell at Round 7, Pick 26 is a fall that decides a draft. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick243
Rnd7
Ty Benefield
They barely believed it either: Ty Benefield still on the board at the 243rd overall pick. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick244
Rnd7
John Curry
John Curry in No. 244 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick245
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
Somehow Raylen Wilson was still sitting there in pick 245, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick247
Rnd7
Greg Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Greg Johnson at No. 247 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248
Rnd7
Devin McCuin
The board fumbled Devin McCuin all the way to pick No. 248, and they scooped it up. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick249
Rnd7
Elijah Paige
Elijah Paige in the 249th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick251
Rnd7
Cooper Barkate
Cooper Barkate in the 251st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick252
Rnd7
Drew Bobo
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Drew Bobo in slot 252, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick253
Rnd7
Drayk Bowen
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 37 is the definition of value, full stop. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick254
Rnd7
Peter Clarke
Peter Clarke at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick255
Rnd7
Josh Hoover
You do not let a quarterback like Josh Hoover reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick257
Rnd7
Malachi Breland
They robbed the room for Malachi Breland here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
