Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Chargers let Pierce fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

The Chargers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

That Pierce pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
In slot 26 they get a premier pass rusher, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
They took Kade Pieper at par in the 86th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 Peter Clarke
They read the board right and Peter Clarke was the payoff at the 91st overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123 Rnd4 Brandon Inniss
Brandon Inniss in Round 4, Pick 23 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Xavier Lucas
A reach for Xavier Lucas in pick No. 126; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 Payton Pierce
Payton Pierce at slot 202 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
