Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Chargers and Washington: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Tahj Washington slide, and the Chargers were the ones holding the card at No. 225. Highway robbery.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Worthy pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick No. 5 they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him.
Pick37 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in No. 37 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in slot 69 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at the 105th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 110th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at Round 5, Pick 4 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
Somehow Sione Vaki was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick225 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in pick 225 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at pick 253 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
