Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers won the night they stopped Belton from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Anthony Belton got past him. The Chargers do not have to explain a thing at the 158th overall pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Tuten reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick No. 22 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart at the 55th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in slot 97 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at the 125th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at No. 139 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick158 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at pick 158 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick181 Rnd6 Nick Nash
Taking Nick Nash in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick199 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
They robbed the room for JJ Pegues here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Somehow Jay Higgins was still sitting there in the 214th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick255 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
They let Donovan Smith come to them and pounced at pick 255. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
