Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Nobody had Trey White this high, and it is not close. The Chargers reached 35 spots to get him at pick 138.

However the rest shakes out, Johnson at that price is a win they earned. Spending an early pick on defensive back with quarterback, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Jeremiah Smith
In pick No. 1 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
They robbed the room for Kade Pieper here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick102 Rnd4 Greg Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Greg Johnson at the 102nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jalen Mayo
A surprising call. With quarterback, running back and other spots still to address, they spent slot 134 on Jalen Mayo, a defensive back they were not short of.
Pick138 Rnd5 Trey White
They reached into another round for Trey White, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick221 Rnd7 Kayin Lee
Kayin Lee at No. 221 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick234 Rnd7 Payton Pierce
They let Payton Pierce come to them and pounced at Round 7, Pick 14. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
