Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Chargers: B-.

The Chargers bet big and early on Jamaree Caldwell, 117 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Evans pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, and a steal at that.
Pick55 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at the 55th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
They barely believed it either: Isaiah Bond still on the board at slot 86. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They will replay Malachi Moore at No. 124 for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick159 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 159th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at pick No. 177 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
No drama and no debate, Jaylen Reed went about where he belonged in slot 183. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Hancock at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jamaree Caldwell
A wild overpay on Jamaree Caldwell in Round 6, Pick 37, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Mitchell Evans
You do not let a tight end like Mitchell Evans reach the 220th overall pick and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit at No. 253 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
