Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
B+
ValueA+
NeedC
TradesA+
FutureC+
Grand theft in pick 254: the Chargers steal Sabb and grade out a B+. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Chargers watched Keon Sabb slide 201 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Chargers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
On the needs board they went 3 of 3, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick52
Rnd2
Carter Smith
You do not let an offensive lineman like Carter Smith reach No. 52 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick55
Rnd2
Cayden Green
They barely believed it either: Cayden Green still on the board at pick No. 55. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick63
Rnd2
Teitum Tuioti
Taking Teitum Tuioti in pick 63 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75
Rnd3
Duce Robinson
Circle this one: Duce Robinson at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick76
Rnd3
Justin Scott
Justin Scott in slot 76 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84
Rnd3
Trevor Goosby
The board fumbled Trevor Goosby all the way to the 84th pick, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86
Rnd3
Jadan Baugh
Steal is underselling it; Jadan Baugh at the 86th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick87
Rnd3
Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa at Round 3, Pick 23 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick88
Rnd3
A'Mauri Washington
They will replay A'Mauri Washington at No. 88 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick97
Rnd3
Jayden Maiava
No drama and no debate, Jayden Maiava went about where he belonged in pick No. 97. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick100
Rnd3
Brice Pollock
Brice Pollock in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick113
Rnd4
KJ Duff
They robbed the room for KJ Duff here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jamari Johnson
A tight end of that caliber at the 123rd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick124
Rnd4
Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper at pick 124 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128
Rnd4
Dashawn Spears
Dashawn Spears at Round 4, Pick 28 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick131
Rnd4
Trevor Lauck
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Trevor Lauck in slot 131, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick143
Rnd5
Luke Montgomery
Luke Montgomery in Round 5, Pick 5 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick156
Rnd5
Will Heldt
Somehow Will Heldt was still sitting there in the 156th pick, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick157
Rnd5
Bear Alexander
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick 157 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169
Rnd5
Austin Siereveld
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Austin Siereveld in pick No. 169, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick184
Rnd6
Princewill Umanmielen
Princewill Umanmielen at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick190
Rnd6
Ahmad Moten Sr.
They robbed the room for Ahmad Moten Sr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick191
Rnd6
Anthony Smith
Steal is underselling it; Anthony Smith at No. 191 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick198
Rnd6
Rasheem Biles
Somehow Rasheem Biles was still sitting there in the 198th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick202
Rnd6
Dante Moore
Dante Moore in slot 202 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick227
Rnd7
Wyatt Young
You do not let a wide receiver like Wyatt Young reach Round 7, Pick 11 and blink. They did not. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick233
Rnd7
Evan Tengesdahl
Taking Evan Tengesdahl in the 233rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick234
Rnd7
Kelley Jones
They will replay Kelley Jones at pick No. 234 for years; that is how good the value is. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick236
Rnd7
LJ Martin
LJ Martin at the 236th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick240
Rnd7
Omarion Miller
Circle this one: Omarion Miller at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick243
Rnd7
Greg Johnson
They barely believed it either: Greg Johnson still on the board at pick 243. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244
Rnd7
Elijah Paige
The board fumbled Elijah Paige all the way to No. 244, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick245
Rnd7
Walker Lyons
Walker Lyons in No. 245 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick247
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at pick No. 247 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick249
Rnd7
Devin McCuin
Devin McCuin in Round 7, Pick 33 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick250
Rnd7
Ty Benefield
Taking Ty Benefield in slot 250 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick251
Rnd7
John Curry
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, John Curry in the 251st pick, plain and simple. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick252
Rnd7
Cooper Barkate
The board fumbled Cooper Barkate all the way to pick 252, and they scooped it up. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick254
Rnd7
Keon Sabb
Circle this one: Keon Sabb at the 254th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick255
Rnd7
Iapani Laloulu
They will replay Iapani Laloulu at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick256
Rnd7
Elinneus Davis
Elinneus Davis at slot 256 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick257
Rnd7
Benjamin Brahmer
Benjamin Brahmer at pick 257 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
