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

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Chargers spent pick 125 on Ahmed Hassanein, a name the board had a full 100 spots lower. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That Tuten pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 22nd pick they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at No. 55 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 86th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ahmed Hassanein
Ahmed Hassanein at Round 4, Pick 23 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick158 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Value with a capital V on Nick Nash in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick181 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
A wild overpay on Miles Frazier in pick 181, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick199 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
They robbed the room for Bhayshul Tuten here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
A clean, defensible pick in the 209th pick with a little surplus value in Jordan Hancock. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick214 Rnd6 Karene Reid
Karene Reid at Round 6, Pick 38 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick218 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in pick 218 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick255 Rnd7 Clay Webb
A slide stopped in slot 255, with Clay Webb worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
