Draft Grade — Chargers

FutureB-
The Chargers robbed the room for Schwesinger. Final grade: D. The Chargers did not so much draft Thor Griffith as overpay for him, 66 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.
The Schwesinger pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Mike Green
In the 22nd overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in Round 2, Pick 12 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the 86th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
Taking Alfred Collins in pick 90 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Fair-plus on Jake Majors, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dont'e Thornton Jr.. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick159
Rnd5
Carson Schwesinger
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick177
Rnd6
Theo Wease Jr.
A big swing on Theo Wease Jr. at pick 177, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick183
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at slot 183 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick201
Rnd6
Brady Cook
A real head-scratcher, Brady Cook in the 201st overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick215
Rnd6
Seth McLaughlin
They went early on Seth McLaughlin in No. 215, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in the 220th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
