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

The Chargers put a flag in the ground for Que Robinson, 93 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Harvey value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In slot 22 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jake Majors
They talked themselves into Jake Majors at the Round 2 slot, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick86 Rnd3 Tai Felton
Fair-plus on Tai Felton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They let Jordan Phillips come to them and pounced at No. 125. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick158 Rnd5 Que Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Que Robinson in pick No. 158 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at Round 6, Pick 5 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick199 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
Steal is underselling it; RJ Harvey at No. 199 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick209 Rnd6 Alijah Huzzie
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Alijah Huzzie at the 209th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick214 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
No edge and no loss on Cam Jackson in slot 214; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
Somehow R.J. Mickens was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick255 Rnd7 Nick Martin
A premium they did not need to pay, Nick Martin a notch or two before his time. A minor itch, scratched.
