Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Chargers.

The Chargers torched the value chart for Ahmed Hassanein, taking him 102 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

That Skattebo pick is the receipt they will wave around later. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 22nd pick they get a security blanket over the middle, outstanding value to boot.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They reached into another round for Tate Ratledge, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 86th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick124 Rnd4 Ahmed Hassanein
Ahmed Hassanein in Round 4, Pick 23 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick159 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in pick 159 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick177 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to No. 177, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183 Rnd6 Alijah Huzzie
They talked themselves into Alijah Huzzie at pick No. 183, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jeffrey Bassa in the 201st pick, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick215 Rnd6 Mitchell Evans
Taking Mitchell Evans in Round 6, Pick 37 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Steal is underselling it; Roc Taylor at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick253 Rnd7 Bryson Eason
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bryson Eason in pick 253, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
