Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
C-

FutureC+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Chargers to a C-. Some picks age like wine; Desmond Watson at the Round 6 slot will need to, sitting 30 spots clear of his grade.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Jackson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In slot 22 they get a mismatch in the passing game. A real need, handled.
Pick55
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at pick No. 55 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick86
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Steal is underselling it; Donovan Jackson at the 86th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
The board had cheaper options than Cam Skattebo at No. 98, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125
Rnd4
Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick155
Rnd5
Chase Lundt
A reach for Chase Lundt in Round 5, Pick 17; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick158
Rnd5
Quincy Riley
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Quincy Riley. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick181
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 181 with a little surplus value in Ollie Gordon II. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick199
Rnd6
Desmond Watson
They reached into another round for Desmond Watson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick214
Rnd6
Donovan Edwards
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Donovan Edwards at the 214th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick256
Rnd7
Rayuan Lane III
Rayuan Lane III in the 256th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
