Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Chargers: B-.

The tape said wait; the Chargers did not. Eyabi Okie-Anoma went at Round 7, Pick 33, a good 32 picks before the board was ready. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The McLachlan pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Joe Alt
Joe Alt in pick No. 5 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick37 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at the 37th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
A straight-up fair deal on Ruke Orhorhoro at the 69th pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
A quiet steal in No. 105: Caelen Carson for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in slot 110 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick140 Rnd5 Isaac Guerendo
A tidy bit of business in pick 140, where Isaac Guerendo graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick181 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
They paid sticker price for Ty'Ron Hopper in the 181st overall pick, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick225 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
They robbed the room for Tanner McLachlan here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
They talked themselves into Eyabi Okie-Anoma at slot 253, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
