Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Chargers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jahfari Harvey at pick 214 is 279 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Bech.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 10th overall pick they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Trey Amos
A clean, defensible pick in No. 52 with a little surplus value in Trey Amos. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jack Bech
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Jack Bech graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
The board had Gunnar Helm higher than slot 99, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick158 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at pick No. 158 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jahfari Harvey
Value said wait; Jahfari Harvey in the 214th pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick257 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
They paid sticker price for Tonka Hemingway in the 257th overall pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
