Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureD
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Chargers.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Chargers spent Round 6, Pick 6 on Nathaniel Watson, a name the board had a full 32 spots lower. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Landing Anthony that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In slot 11 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick31 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at Round 1, Pick 31 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick37 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in pick 37 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in the 69th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
A premium they did not need to pay, Braelon Allen a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A slide stopped in No. 105, with Brenden Rice worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at the 110th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick131 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at pick 131 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick140 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
By-the-book stuff, Ainias Smith at No. 140 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
A big swing on Nathaniel Watson at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
They liked Jaden Crumedy enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 215. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
A real head-scratcher, Jalen Coker in the 225th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Nice patience on Daijahn Anthony, who had no business lasting to slot 253. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
