Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers robbed the room for Mondon Jr.. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Smael Mondon Jr., the Round 6 slot, roughly 76 picks past where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
They read the board right and Colston Loveland was the payoff at the 57th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick No. 89 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach slot 126 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings in No. 160 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick180 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 5, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick200 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Upton Stout at the 200th overall pick 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.
Pick208 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
They paid sticker price for DJ Campbell in pick 208, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jaishawn Barham
The board had Jaishawn Barham higher than pick 213, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick218 Rnd7 Eli Stowers
Taking Eli Stowers in Round 7, Pick 2 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Steal is underselling it; Donovan Edwards at slot 252 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
