Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers let Milum fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The Chargers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Wyatt Milum, the No. 13 name on the board, in the 197th pick. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
They will replay Ashton Jeanty at pick No. 57 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
Somehow Kenneth Grant was still sitting there in No. 86, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112 Rnd4 Harold Fannin Jr.
Circle this one: Harold Fannin Jr. at the 112th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Josaiah Stewart
Taking Josaiah Stewart in slot 123 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick157 Rnd5 Tre Harris
The board fumbled Tre Harris all the way to the 157th overall pick, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd6 Cam Ward
Cam Ward in pick 179 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at Round 6, Pick 22 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick208 Rnd6 Elijah Arroyo
They barely believed it either: Elijah Arroyo still on the board at pick 208. The roster fit checks out.
Pick213 Rnd6 Kyle Kennard
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Kyle Kennard in No. 213, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick218 Rnd7 Dylan Fairchild
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 218 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253 Rnd7 Savion Williams
They robbed the room for Savion Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
