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

The Chargers put a flag in the ground for Collin Oliver, 105 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Winston Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Good price on Tyler Warren in No. 22, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in slot 55 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at Round 4, Pick 23 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Somehow Kevin Winston Jr. was still sitting there in the 159th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick177 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in pick 177 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick183 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at the 183rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick201 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
They talked themselves into Ty Hamilton at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Collin Oliver
This one needs a full-page explanation: Collin Oliver in pick No. 215, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cooper Mays
A real head-scratcher, Cooper Mays in Round 7, Pick 2 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick253 Rnd7 Nick Martin
A premium they did not need to pay, Nick Martin a notch or two before his time. It adds depth where they could use a little.
