Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Chargers.

The war room fell hard for Davin Vann, and it showed at the 181st pick: 88 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The West pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 22 they get a seam-stretching tight end at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
The board had Jonah Savaiinaea higher than the Round 2 slot, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Nothing to complain about; Devin Neal went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A straight-up fair deal on Jake Majors at Round 4, Pick 23, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick158 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at pick No. 158 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick181 Rnd6 Davin Vann
They left a pile of value on the table to take Davin Vann this early at the 181st overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick199 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
You do not let a cornerback like Quincy Riley reach Round 6, Pick 23 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick209 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West at pick 209 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick214 Rnd6 Karene Reid
Nice patience on Karene Reid, who had no business lasting to No. 214. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick256 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
They took Torricelli Simpkins III at par in pick No. 256, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
