Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedC TradesF FutureB+
The Chargers left with their quarterback, and a D- to match.

Some picks age like wine; Wendell Gregory at Round 5, Pick 1 will need to, sitting 30 spots clear of his grade. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Whatever Drew Mestemaker becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Green pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at cornerback.

Landing Hardy that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Drew Mestemaker
Drew Mestemaker in slot 6 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick33 Rnd2 Trey'Dez Green
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Trey'Dez Green at tight end with cornerback open.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kade Pieper
No edge and no loss on Kade Pieper in pick No. 37; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kewan Lacy
A curious use of pick 49. Cornerback needed the pick; a running back in Kewan Lacy did not.
Pick59 Rnd2 Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander at the 59th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65 Rnd3 Ahmad Hardy
A want over a need in the Round 3 slot: Ahmad Hardy adds a running back while cornerback keeps waiting.
Pick70 Rnd3 Princewill Umanmielen
A clean, defensible pick in No. 70 with a little surplus value in Princewill Umanmielen. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Mario Craver
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went wide receiver with Mario Craver while clear needs at cornerback sat open.
Pick102 Rnd4 Luke Montgomery
They went early on Luke Montgomery in Round 4, Pick 1, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick107 Rnd4 Whit Weeks
A surprising call. With cornerback still to address, they spent pick No. 107 on Whit Weeks, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick140 Rnd5 Wendell Gregory
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Wendell Gregory. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Chris Marshall
They jumped the gun on Chris Marshall, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ian Moore
They did well to land Ian Moore in the 185th pick, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick197 Rnd6 Justice Haynes
They let Justice Haynes come to them and pounced at slot 197. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick239 Rnd7 Mark Nabou Jr.
They will replay Mark Nabou Jr. at the 239th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
