Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesD+
FutureB-
The Chargers kept it disciplined and banked a B-. The Chargers went off the board in a big way for Ben Sinnott, 19 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
Wilson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
JC Latham
JC Latham in the 18th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick37
Rnd2
Ladd McConkey
They did well to land Ladd McConkey in No. 37, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylen Wright at slot 69, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick72
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
The board had Payton Wilson higher than the Round 3 slot, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick97
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
They took Khyree Jackson at par in pick 97, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick105
Rnd4
Maason Smith
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Maason Smith. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick107
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice slipping to the 107th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ben Sinnott well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick112
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
No drama and no debate, Elijah Jones went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 12. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick140
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
They went early on Kitan Oladapo in No. 140, and the value did not follow. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick181
Rnd6
Delmar Glaze
A premium they did not need to pay, Delmar Glaze a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick208
Rnd6
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
They jumped the gun on Javontae Jean-Baptiste, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225
Rnd7
Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at the 225th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick246
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Edefuan Ulofoshio at the Round 7 slot is the proof. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick253
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at pick No. 253 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
