Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
The Chargers land in the muddy middle: C+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Dayon Hayes; the Chargers did not wait, grabbing him 119 spots ahead at the 177th pick.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Sanders. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Hit on Tyler Warren and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a security blanket over the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick86 Rnd3 Devin Neal
They did well to land Devin Neal in pick No. 86, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
A big swing on Jonah Monheim at No. 124, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick159 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A reach on JJ Pegues in the 159th overall pick; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177 Rnd5 Dayon Hayes
Value said wait; Dayon Hayes in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick183 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 183 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick201 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
They robbed the room for Raheim Sanders here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Somehow Jaylen Reed was still sitting there in No. 215, and they pounced on premier safety value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick253 Rnd7 Aydan White
A wild overpay on Aydan White in pick No. 253, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
