Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Chargers, and a B to prove it.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Chargers started one anyway for Seth McLaughlin, 51 picks ahead of schedule. No fireworks, but a solid B.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 22nd pick they get a matchup weapon at tight end at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kaleb Johnson at the 58th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124 Rnd4 David Walker
This one needs a full-page explanation: David Walker in pick 124, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
You do not let a wide receiver like Tez Johnson reach slot 127 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nick Nash at No. 159 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177 Rnd5 Connor Colby
Connor Colby in pick 177 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
They reached into another round for Seth McLaughlin, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick201 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
Value with a capital V on Antwane Wells Jr. in the 201st overall pick, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Circle this one: Jaylen Reed at slot 215 is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick220 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brandon Adams well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes in Round 7, Pick 35 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
