Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A passer of the future in Sanders, and a D+, for the Chargers.

The Chargers put a flag in the ground for Akheem Mesidor, 112 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It grades a D+, and the process earned it.

Styles at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Shedeur Sanders gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In the 1st overall pick they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A quiet steal in the 35th pick: Emeka Egbuka for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jihaad Campbell in pick 76, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick89 Rnd3 Deone Walker
The board fumbled Deone Walker all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jordan James
Jordan James at Round 3, Pick 33 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in No. 126 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick160 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick 160 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jason Marshall Jr.
Circle this one: Jason Marshall Jr. at the 163rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the Round 5 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Phillip Webb. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at pick No. 200 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick217 Rnd7 Stone Handy
Stone Handy at slot 217 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor in the 218th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238 Rnd7 Elijah Arroyo
Taking Elijah Arroyo in No. 238 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick252 Rnd7 Tyler Cooper
They reached a country mile for Tyler Cooper at the 252nd pick, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255 Rnd7 Brennan Presley
They took Brennan Presley at par in pick 255, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
