Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chargers: B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Chargers would have aced it. Benjamin Brahmer at the 165th overall pick is 24 spots clear of where he belonged.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Washington falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 John Henry Daley
In the 28th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
They will replay A'Mauri Washington at pick No. 55 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69 Rnd3 Samson Okunlola
Fair-plus on Samson Okunlola, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jacarrius Peak
They read the board right and Jacarrius Peak was the payoff at pick 86. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jaylen McClain
Jaylen McClain in slot 123 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick165 Rnd5 Benjamin Brahmer
Benjamin Brahmer at Round 5, Pick 27 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Donovan Jones
They paid sticker price for Donovan Jones in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick243 Rnd7 Evan Stewart
They jumped the gun on Evan Stewart, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
