Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Chargers shredded theirs for Ahmed Hassanein. He came off 100 spots early, and the room will hear about it. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Martinez value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In the 22nd overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in Round 2, Pick 23 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
The board had Isaiah Bond higher than the Round 3 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Ahmed Hassanein
Ahmed Hassanein in No. 124 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick159 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
They let Mitchell Evans come to them and pounced at pick 159. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick177 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in pick No. 177 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick183 Rnd6 James Burnip
A top-tier specialist at a bargain, James Burnip in the 183rd pick, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick201 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Circle this one: JJ Pegues at slot 201 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
A quiet steal in No. 215: Jordan Hancock for less than the market said. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick220 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick253 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A big swing on Garrett Dellinger at Round 7, Pick 35, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
