Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers cashed the board's mistake on Skattebo: B.

The Chargers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Cam Skattebo, the No. 105 name on the board, in the Round 6 slot. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They are betting Mertz proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a red-zone target to build around. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They will replay Kenneth Grant at Round 2, Pick 23 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Circle this one: Tre Harris at pick No. 86 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Harold Fannin Jr.
You do not let a tight end like Harold Fannin Jr. reach the 123rd pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick157 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
They robbed the room for Quinshon Judkins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
Taking Jared Wilson in No. 179 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin is a better player than pick 197 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick208 Rnd6 Kobe King
Somehow Kobe King was still sitting there in slot 208, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick213 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in Round 6, Pick 38 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at the 218th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Graham Mertz well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
