Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 213: the Chargers steal Skattebo and grade out a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Cam Skattebo at the Round 6 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Reaching for Mills left real value on the table behind him.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
They read the board right and Isaiah Bond was the payoff at pick 55. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick86 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Watts in the 86th overall pick, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick123 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
A reach on Rylie Mills in pick No. 123; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick157 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at No. 157 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197 Rnd6 Kobe King
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 197 is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick208 Rnd6 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at the 208th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick213 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to the 213th pick, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock is a better player than No. 218 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick253 Rnd7 Kamren Fabiculanan
A straight-up fair deal on Kamren Fabiculanan at pick 253, value and slot in agreement. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
