Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Tyler Batty in No. 125, a good 101 spots before the room expected him. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Parrish. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyleik Williams
In pick No. 22 they get a wrecking ball inside, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
A conviction pick on Kyle Kennard at Round 2, Pick 23 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in No. 86 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tyler Batty
They reached a country mile for Tyler Batty at slot 125, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick158 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 158th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jacob Parrish
Steal is underselling it; Jacob Parrish at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick199 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt in slot 199 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
Somehow Phil Mafah was still sitting there in No. 209, and they pounced on premier running back value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick214 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 214, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick218 Rnd7 Upton Stout
Upton Stout at Round 7, Pick 2 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick255 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Collin Oliver well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
