Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
D+
ValueA
NeedC
TradesF
FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chargers for Johnson: D+. You could see the war room lean forward. Greg Johnson at No. 242 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The Chargers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Jeremiah Smith
In pick No. 2 they get a go-to option on the outside. More want than need.
Pick18
Rnd1
Leonard Moore
In slot 18 they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick22
Rnd1
Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
In the Round 1 slot they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick33
Rnd2
Carter Smith
The board fumbled Carter Smith all the way to pick 33, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick42
Rnd2
Cayden Green
They barely believed it either: Cayden Green still on the board at the 42nd overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick47
Rnd2
Duce Robinson
They will replay Duce Robinson at the 47th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick55
Rnd2
KJ Bolden
KJ Bolden at No. 55 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick56
Rnd2
Teitum Tuioti
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Teitum Tuioti at Round 2, Pick 24 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65
Rnd3
Brice Pollock
Somehow Brice Pollock was still sitting there in slot 65, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick71
Rnd3
Trey'Dez Green
You do not let a tight end like Trey'Dez Green reach the 71st pick and blink. They did not. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick75
Rnd3
A'Mauri Washington
Steal is underselling it; A'Mauri Washington at pick No. 75 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick76
Rnd3
Justin Scott
Justin Scott in the 76th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick79
Rnd3
Trevor Goosby
Taking Trevor Goosby in Round 3, Pick 15 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick81
Rnd3
Zabien Brown
They robbed the room for Zabien Brown here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick83
Rnd3
Dante Moore
Dante Moore at pick 83 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick85
Rnd3
Jamari Johnson
Circle this one: Jamari Johnson at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick86
Rnd3
Trevor Lauck
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 86 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87
Rnd3
Dashawn Spears
Dashawn Spears in the 87th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick88
Rnd3
Jadan Baugh
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Jadan Baugh in pick 88, plain and simple. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick96
Rnd3
Rasheem Biles
Rasheem Biles at Round 3, Pick 32 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick97
Rnd3
Jayden Maiava
By-the-book stuff, Jayden Maiava at the 97th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick100
Rnd3
Austin Siereveld
Austin Siereveld in No. 100 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jamari Sharpe
The board fumbled Jamari Sharpe all the way to slot 103, and they scooped it up. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick104
Rnd4
John Henry Daley
John Henry Daley in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick107
Rnd4
KJ Duff
KJ Duff at pick No. 107 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick115
Rnd4
Charlie Becker
They robbed the room for Charlie Becker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick120
Rnd4
Kade Pieper
They barely believed it either: Kade Pieper still on the board at No. 120. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123
Rnd4
Kelley Jones
Somehow Kelley Jones was still sitting there in the 123rd overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick124
Rnd4
Kewan Lacy
Kewan Lacy in the 124th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick139
Rnd5
Boubacar Traore
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Boubacar Traore in slot 139, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick141
Rnd5
Luke Montgomery
Luke Montgomery in pick 141 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144
Rnd5
Wyatt Young
Wyatt Young at Round 5, Pick 6 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick147
Rnd5
Princewill Umanmielen
They will replay Princewill Umanmielen at pick 147 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154
Rnd5
Keon Sabb
Steal is underselling it; Keon Sabb at No. 154 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick157
Rnd5
Andrew Sprague
Circle this one: Andrew Sprague at pick No. 157 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160
Rnd5
Bear Alexander
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Bear Alexander reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick161
Rnd5
Evan Tengesdahl
Taking Evan Tengesdahl in the 161st overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick165
Rnd5
Omarion Miller
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 165 is the definition of value, full stop. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick172
Rnd5
Jelani McDonald
Jelani McDonald at Round 5, Pick 34 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick173
Rnd5
Jyaire Hill
A cornerback of that caliber at the 173rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick175
Rnd5
Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor at slot 175 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick178
Rnd5
Ahmad Moten Sr.
Ahmad Moten Sr. at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick192
Rnd6
LJ Martin
Taking LJ Martin in Round 6, Pick 13 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick202
Rnd6
Will Heldt
You do not let an edge rusher like Will Heldt reach No. 202 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206
Rnd6
Peter Clarke
They barely believed it either: Peter Clarke still on the board at pick 206. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick210
Rnd6
Anthony Smith
They will replay Anthony Smith at the 210th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216
Rnd6
Darian Mensah
They robbed the room for Darian Mensah here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick218
Rnd7
Devin McCuin
Somehow Devin McCuin was still sitting there in pick No. 218, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick227
Rnd7
Ty Benefield
Circle this one: Ty Benefield at Round 7, Pick 11 is a fall that decides a draft. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick236
Rnd7
John Curry
The board fumbled John Curry all the way to slot 236, and they scooped it up. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick242
Rnd7
Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson in the 242nd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243
Rnd7
Mateen Ibirogba
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Mateen Ibirogba in pick No. 243, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick244
Rnd7
Cooper Barkate
Steal is underselling it; Cooper Barkate at No. 244 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick254
Rnd7
Ezra Christensen
Ezra Christensen at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick257
Rnd7
Elijah Paige
Elijah Paige in pick 257 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
