Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chargers for Webb: B+.

When a board-topper like Clay Webb slides to pick 162, you do not overthink it, and the Chargers did not.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The cost of the Prieskorn reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In slot 28 they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone at Round 2, Pick 22 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
They will replay Jalen Milroe at pick No. 79 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143 Rnd5 Caden Prieskorn
Value said wait; Caden Prieskorn in No. 143 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162 Rnd6 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in the 162nd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick175 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in pick 175 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick207 Rnd7 Terion Stewart
They took Terion Stewart at par in the 207th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
Good price on Dante Trader Jr. in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
