Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Chargers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The Chargers went off the board in a big way for Jalen Thompson, 33 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Washington falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The Jaylin Smith deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Zabien Brown
In No. 28 they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
No edge and no loss on Kade Pieper in the 86th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd3 Shadre Hurst
Fair-plus on Shadre Hurst, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Corey Myrick
A reasonable price with a little left over, Corey Myrick in the 106th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick123 Rnd4 Devin McCuin
They paid sticker price for Devin McCuin in pick No. 123, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124 Rnd4 Justin Evans
Justin Evans in the 124th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick128 Rnd4 Brody Foley
They liked Brody Foley enough to skip the value, taking him in the 128th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jalen Thompson
A big swing on Jalen Thompson at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Andrew Rappleyea
Andrew Rappleyea at slot 202 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
