Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall D
ValueA NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 209: the Chargers steal Ward and grade out a D.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cam Ward, the No. 8 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 209.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 22nd overall pick they get a mismatch in the passing game. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Mike Green
The board fumbled Mike Green all the way to the 55th pick, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick61 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
They will replay Grey Zabel at pick No. 61 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at No. 86 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ashton Jeanty
Steal is underselling it; Ashton Jeanty at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in Round 5, Pick 4 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jahdae Barron
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 158 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181 Rnd6 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick 181 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick209 Rnd6 Cam Ward
You do not let a quarterback like Cam Ward reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick214 Rnd6 Malachi Moore
Taking Malachi Moore in the 214th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
