Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Chargers turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Mycah Pittman pick is the one that will follow the Chargers into the fall. They took him 127 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The Mitchell steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In slot 5 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
A quiet steal in pick No. 37: Amarius Mims for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sedrick Van Pran. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74 Rnd3 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in pick 74 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at No. 81 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 5, where Bucky Irving graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick142 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zion Tupuola-Fetui this early at the 142nd overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick145 Rnd5 J.J. Weaver
Value said wait; J.J. Weaver in slot 145 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jared Wiley well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They let Frank Gore Jr. come to them and pounced at No. 183. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226 Rnd7 Mycah Pittman
Mycah Pittman at the 226th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
