Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chargers: B-.

The Chargers did not so much draft Cooper Mays as overpay for him, 77 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Etienne at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a security blanket over the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Burch this early at pick 55. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
The board had Maxwell Hairston higher than slot 86, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at No. 124 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick159 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They paid sticker price for JJ Pegues in the 177th pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in the 183rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick201 Rnd6 Torricelli Simpkins III
They talked themselves into Torricelli Simpkins III at pick 201, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick215 Rnd6 Cooper Mays
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cooper Mays well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at pick No. 220 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick253 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Trevor Etienne in No. 253, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
