Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
D+
ValueB+
NeedC+
TradesF
FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Chargers and Echoles: D+. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Will Echoles got past him. The Chargers do not have to explain a thing at the 86th pick.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They are betting Stewart proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Carter Smith
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback, outstanding value to boot.
Pick55
Rnd2
Chris Peal
They read the board right and Chris Peal was the payoff at slot 55. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick86
Rnd3
Will Echoles
Steal is underselling it; Will Echoles at the 86th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87
Rnd3
Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper at No. 87 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88
Rnd3
A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at pick No. 88 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89
Rnd3
Brice Pollock
Circle this one: Brice Pollock at pick 89 is a fall that decides a draft. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick90
Rnd3
Luke Montgomery
Luke Montgomery slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 26 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick100
Rnd3
Anthony Smith
Anthony Smith at the 100th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick123
Rnd4
Taylor Wein
A conviction pick on Taylor Wein at No. 123 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150
Rnd5
Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson at pick 150 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick162
Rnd5
J'Koby Williams
They barely believed it either: J'Koby Williams still on the board at the Round 5 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick187
Rnd6
Amare Thomas
Taking Amare Thomas in Round 6, Pick 8 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick197
Rnd6
Dylan Lonergan
Somehow Dylan Lonergan was still sitting there in pick No. 197, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick202
Rnd6
Jacob Ponton
Jacob Ponton in slot 202 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226
Rnd7
La'khi Roland
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and La'khi Roland at the 226th pick is the proof. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick227
Rnd7
C.J. Fite
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the 227th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick233
Rnd7
Stephiylan Green
Nothing to complain about; Stephiylan Green went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick243
Rnd7
Cole Sullivan
They will replay Cole Sullivan at the 243rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick244
Rnd7
Addison Nichols
Addison Nichols in pick 244 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245
Rnd7
Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at the 245th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick253
Rnd7
DJ Vonnahme
They liked DJ Vonnahme enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 253. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
