Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Chargers.

The Chargers went off the board in a big way for Dayon Hayes, 82 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Sanders steal is the beam this whole class leans on. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a mismatch in the passing game. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They jumped the gun on Tate Ratledge, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They went early on Jake Majors in No. 86, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tory Horton
The board had Tory Horton higher than the 125th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick158 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A wild overpay on JJ Pegues in Round 5, Pick 20, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick181 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at slot 181 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick199 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
Value with a capital V on KeAndre Lambert-Smith in pick No. 199, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick209 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Miles Frazier. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick214 Rnd6 Dayon Hayes
A real head-scratcher, Dayon Hayes in the 214th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan Hancock in Round 7, Pick 2. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick255 Rnd7 Cooper Mays
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cooper Mays this early at No. 255. The roster fit checks out.
