Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
The Chargers won the night they stopped Barton from sliding. Grade: B.

The Chargers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Lander Barton, the No. 123 name on the board, in slot 218. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Smith pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 23 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the 55th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in slot 86 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Taking Gunnar Helm in pick 100 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick157 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kalel Mullings in pick No. 157, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick179 Rnd6 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at Round 6, Pick 4 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick192 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at the 192nd overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick208 Rnd6 Tim Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tim Smith this early at pick No. 208. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218 Rnd7 Lander Barton
Lander Barton in slot 218 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick221 Rnd7 Samuel Brown
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 5 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick253 Rnd7 Ben Yurosek
Ben Yurosek in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
