Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureB
The jury is out on the Chargers. For now, C+.

Everything else got attention, and interior defensive lineman got none. That is a strange way for the Chargers to leave a draft. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

They are betting Sainristil proves the room right and everyone else wrong. On value alone, Wiley makes the weekend a net positive. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

So much rides on Brock Bowers that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
Brock Bowers at No. 10 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick39 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Good price on Chop Robinson in the 39th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Fair-plus on Jackson Powers-Johnson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick57 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They took Chris Braswell at par in slot 57, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A conviction pick on Mike Sainristil at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at pick No. 70 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
A quiet steal in pick 91: Jalen McMillan for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in the 105th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick125 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 25 with a little surplus value in Sataoa Laumea. The roster fit checks out.
Pick142 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cedric Gray in pick No. 142. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick205 Rnd6 Michael Wiley
A tidy bit of business in the 205th overall pick, where Michael Wiley graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick208 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Nice patience on Christian Jones, who had no business lasting to No. 208. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan is a better player than the 226th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
