Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Chargers: B-.

The Chargers put a flag in the ground for Trey Moore, 78 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Getting Belton where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In pick 22 they get a red-zone target to build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Zy Alexander
They paid sticker price for Zy Alexander in the 55th pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott is a better player than pick No. 86 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in slot 124 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick159 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Taking Anthony Belton in the 159th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Seth McLaughlin well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
They barely believed it either: Raheim Sanders still on the board at the 183rd overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick201 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Value with a capital V on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 201, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Trey Moore
Trey Moore at pick 215 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
They reached into another round for Jackson Hawes, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253 Rnd7 Kai Kroeger
Value said wait; Kai Kroeger in the 253rd pick says they were not listening. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
