Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Andrew Raym in the 190th overall pick, a good 49 spots before the room expected him.

The Chargers indulged a want in McKinstry while a need in interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots stayed open. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Tampa at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Kool-Aid McKinstry adds a defensive back and leaves interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots untouched.
Pick44 Rnd2 Trey Benson
They paid a round early for Trey Benson in No. 44, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
They zigged when the board said zag, taking T.J. Tampa at defensive back with interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots open.
Pick112 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Roman Wilson at pick No. 112, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They took Ty'Ron Hopper at par in pick 149, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick190 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym at the 190th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at slot 233 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
