Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
B+
ValueB
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureB
The Chargers let Peak fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+. The rest of the league will want that one back. Jacarrius Peak tumbling to the Chargers in the Round 4 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The cost of the Inniss reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
The Chargers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 3 of 3 of the wish list covered.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick55
Rnd2
Will Echoles
Somehow Will Echoles was still sitting there in No. 55, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Rasheem Biles
Rasheem Biles at pick 75 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick86
Rnd3
Jadan Baugh
They robbed the room for Jadan Baugh here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87
Rnd3
Samson Okunlola
Samson Okunlola in the 87th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88
Rnd3
Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jayden Maiava
They liked Jayden Maiava enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 25. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick100
Rnd3
Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander is a better player than the 100th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110
Rnd4
Brandon Inniss
Brandon Inniss in pick No. 110 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick122
Rnd4
Greg Johnson
Value with a capital V on Greg Johnson in the 122nd overall pick, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jacarrius Peak
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jacarrius Peak in No. 123, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick124
Rnd4
Taylor Wein
Taylor Wein in pick 124 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick187
Rnd6
Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They barely believed it either: Jermaine Mathews Jr. still on the board at slot 187. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick197
Rnd6
Payton Pierce
The board had Payton Pierce higher than the Round 6 slot, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick202
Rnd6
Andrew Rappleyea
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Andrew Rappleyea at the 202nd pick. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick227
Rnd7
Braylan Shelby
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Braylan Shelby well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick230
Rnd7
Stephiylan Green
A straight-up fair deal on Stephiylan Green at Round 7, Pick 14, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233
Rnd7
Xavier Chaplin
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Chaplin at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239
Rnd7
Addison Nichols
Addison Nichols at pick No. 239 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241
Rnd7
Elijah Rushing
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Elijah Rushing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245
Rnd7
Chris Marshall
Chris Marshall slipping to No. 245 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick253
Rnd7
D'Antre Robinson
They paid sticker price for D'Antre Robinson in slot 253, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
