Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Dayon Hayes at slot 201. The Chargers jumped the board by 92 and dared it to prove them wrong.

Landing Stout that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 55th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
A wild overpay on Cam Skattebo in Round 3, Pick 22, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jonah Monheim well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick159 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They reached into another round for Dont'e Thornton Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
A straight-up fair deal on Cobee Bryant at slot 177, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick183 Rnd6 CJ West
This one needs a full-page explanation: CJ West in the 183rd overall pick, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick201 Rnd6 Dayon Hayes
Dayon Hayes at No. 201 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at slot 215 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick220 Rnd7 Upton Stout
Upton Stout in Round 7, Pick 2 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick253 Rnd7 Robbie Ouzts
Robbie Ouzts at the 253rd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
