Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB+
The Chargers bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Tyler Batty pick is the one that will follow the Chargers into the fall. They took him 64 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Bassa falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 22 they get a load in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They paid sticker price for Jihaad Campbell in pick 39, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A reach on Jayden Higgins in the 63rd overall pick; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Good price on Mason Taylor in Round 3, Pick 22, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick92 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
They will replay Dylan Sampson at pick No. 92 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick96 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Devin Neal at the 96th overall pick is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick124 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at the 124th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
They took Jonah Monheim at par in slot 145, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They left a pile of value on the table to take JJ Pegues this early at pick 149. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyler Batty in the Round 5 slot, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick162 Rnd5 Fadil Diggs
Value said wait; Fadil Diggs in pick No. 162 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in No. 170 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick174 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They robbed the room for Bhayshul Tuten here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick177 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
A wild overpay on Hayden Conner in No. 177, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick183 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Miles Frazier well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick256 Rnd7 Cooper Mays
A real head-scratcher, Cooper Mays in Round 7, Pick 38 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
