Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
B
ValueB+
NeedB
TradesA-
FutureC
The Chargers kept it disciplined and banked a B. The Chargers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Brady Cook at pick 218 regardless, 53 picks early. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
The veteran additions, Cody Mauch chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
A slide stopped in No. 22, with Tetairoa McMillan worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick56
Rnd2
Harold Fannin Jr.
They took Harold Fannin Jr. at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick57
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Omarion Hampton in the 57th pick, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick109
Rnd4
Carson Schwesinger
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 109 is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick125
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Taking Kevin Winston Jr. in the 125th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick158
Rnd5
Dillon Gabriel
They barely believed it either: Dillon Gabriel still on the board at pick No. 158. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at pick 181 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick199
Rnd6
Jaylen Reed
The board fumbled Jaylen Reed all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick209
Rnd6
Ricky White III
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ricky White III in Round 6, Pick 33. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218
Rnd7
Brady Cook
They reached into another round for Brady Cook, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
