Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers let Pieper fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kade Pieper tumbling to the Chargers in No. 123 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They will need Cook to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Zabien Brown
In the 22nd pick they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
Steal is underselling it; A'Mauri Washington at pick 55 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Quincy Rhodes Jr. at pick No. 86 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper at slot 123 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Johntay Cook
Johntay Cook at No. 202 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
