Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Collin Oliver at pick 253 will need to, sitting 85 spots clear of his grade.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Evans. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick No. 22 they get a mismatch in the passing game, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
No edge and no loss on TreVeyon Henderson in slot 55; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A reach for Dylan Fairchild in No. 86; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at the 124th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick159 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
They reached a country mile for Seth McLaughlin at the 159th pick, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick177 Rnd5 Nick Nash
You do not let a wide receiver like Nick Nash reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick183 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at slot 183 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick201 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Steal is underselling it; Quincy Riley at the 201st pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215 Rnd6 Mitchell Evans
The board fumbled Mitchell Evans all the way to pick No. 215, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at No. 220 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
They reached into another round for Collin Oliver, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
