Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
Larceny in slot 169 lands the Chargers a B, Newton and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Josh Newton, pick 169, roughly 48 picks past where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The trade work was a quiet net positive. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The Scooter Harrington deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 5th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze in slot 37 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at the 91st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime in No. 105 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at pick No. 122 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick140 Rnd5 McKinnley Jackson
They read the board right and McKinnley Jackson was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 4. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in pick 169 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick181 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They paid sticker price for Tanor Bortolini in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell in Round 6, Pick 27 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
A reasonable price with a little left over, JD Bertrand in pick No. 225. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick253 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Miyan Williams at No. 253, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
