Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chargers for Bowman Jr.: B+.

The board owed the Chargers one, and it paid up: Billy Bowman Jr., the No. 121 name on the board, sitting there at slot 201 like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

Batty has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick55 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
A tidy little value on Harold Fannin Jr. in the 55th pick, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick62 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Nothing to complain about; Alfred Collins went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jake Majors
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jake Majors. The roster fit checks out.
Pick124 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Luke Kandra worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyler Batty in Round 5, Pick 20, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings at pick No. 177 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick183 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 183 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick201 Rnd6 Billy Bowman Jr.
They robbed the room for Billy Bowman Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser slipping to pick 215 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick220 Rnd7 Dorian Strong
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Dorian Strong in No. 220, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick253 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at Round 7, Pick 35 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
