Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
The Chargers did enough to get by: C+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Tez Johnson, the No. 90 name on the board, stolen at the Round 5 slot. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

Robinson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In No. 22 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
No edge and no loss on Azareye'h Thomas in slot 55; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
By-the-book stuff, Sebastian Castro at No. 86 squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in pick No. 112 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Jared Wilson worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
Circle this one: Tez Johnson at Round 5, Pick 20 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
They barely believed it either: Raheim Sanders still on the board at the 177th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183 Rnd6 Que Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Que Robinson in the 183rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick201 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in slot 201 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick215 Rnd6 Mitchell Evans
You do not let a tight end like Mitchell Evans reach pick 215 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Jamon Dumas-Johnson at pick 220, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick253 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
No drama and no debate, Tonka Hemingway went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick255 Rnd7 Logan Parr
They paid sticker price for Logan Parr in slot 255, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
