Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureD
The Chargers bled value on every deal, hence the C-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Barryn Sorrell in pick 220, a good 94 spots before the room expected him.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They banked enough surplus on Williams to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

If Tyler Warren and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 22 they get a matchup weapon at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a two-high chess piece at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in pick No. 55 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick86 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A quiet steal in slot 86: Isaiah Bond for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders slid further than he should have, and the 159th pick is lovely value for the running back. The roster fit checks out.
Pick177 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick201 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
They robbed the room for Nohl Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215 Rnd6 CJ West
By-the-book stuff, CJ West at pick No. 215 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
A wild overpay on Barryn Sorrell in pick 220, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick253 Rnd7 Eric Gregory
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eric Gregory in Round 7, Pick 35, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
