Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
A-
ValueA+
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureB
The Chargers robbed the room for Hoover. Final grade: A-. When a board-topper like Josh Hoover slides to slot 257, you do not overthink it, and the Chargers did not.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. The veteran additions, Justin Jefferson chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick55
Rnd2
Duce Robinson
The board fumbled Duce Robinson all the way to Round 2, Pick 23, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick63
Rnd2
Teitum Tuioti
They barely believed it either: Teitum Tuioti still on the board at No. 63. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75
Rnd3
Carter Smith
Steal is underselling it; Carter Smith at pick No. 75 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick79
Rnd3
Cayden Green
Cayden Green at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick81
Rnd3
KJ Duff
KJ Duff in slot 81 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick82
Rnd3
Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
Somehow Kenyatta Jackson Jr. was still sitting there in the 82nd pick, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83
Rnd3
Chris Cole
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 83 is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick87
Rnd3
Dashawn Spears
They robbed the room for Dashawn Spears here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88
Rnd3
Brice Pollock
Brice Pollock in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95
Rnd3
John Henry Daley
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, John Henry Daley in slot 95, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102
Rnd4
Dante Moore
Dante Moore at the 102nd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick114
Rnd4
A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at No. 114 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119
Rnd4
Princewill Umanmielen
Circle this one: Princewill Umanmielen at the 119th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jamari Johnson
Taking Jamari Johnson in pick 123 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick143
Rnd5
Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby in Round 5, Pick 5 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick152
Rnd5
Trevor Lauck
You do not let an offensive lineman like Trevor Lauck reach pick No. 152 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick156
Rnd5
Kade Pieper
They will replay Kade Pieper at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick160
Rnd5
Wyatt Young
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 160th pick is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick162
Rnd5
Rasheem Biles
They barely believed it either: Rasheem Biles still on the board at slot 162. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick164
Rnd5
Kewan Lacy
They will replay Kewan Lacy at No. 164 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165
Rnd5
Austin Siereveld
Somehow Austin Siereveld was still sitting there in pick No. 165, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172
Rnd5
Kelley Jones
They robbed the room for Kelley Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173
Rnd5
Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb in pick 173 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick175
Rnd5
Bray Hubbard
You do not let a safety like Bray Hubbard reach the 175th overall pick and blink. They did not. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick178
Rnd5
LJ Martin
The board fumbled LJ Martin all the way to slot 178, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick184
Rnd6
Luke Montgomery
Luke Montgomery in pick No. 184 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick188
Rnd6
Raleek Brown
Raleek Brown in the 188th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick190
Rnd6
Bear Alexander
Steal is underselling it; Bear Alexander at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick191
Rnd6
Jyaire Hill
Taking Jyaire Hill in Round 6, Pick 12 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick192
Rnd6
Evan Tengesdahl
Evan Tengesdahl at pick 192 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195
Rnd6
Omarion Miller
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Omarion Miller in No. 195, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198
Rnd6
Will Heldt
Will Heldt at the 198th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick199
Rnd6
Ahmad Moten Sr.
Ahmad Moten Sr. at No. 199 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202
Rnd6
Mateen Ibirogba
Circle this one: Mateen Ibirogba at Round 6, Pick 23 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick205
Rnd6
Anthony Smith
A edge rusher of that caliber at pick No. 205 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206
Rnd6
Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson at slot 206 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick208
Rnd6
Peter Clarke
They will replay Peter Clarke at pick 208 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick210
Rnd6
Devin McCuin
Devin McCuin in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216
Rnd6
Walker Lyons
Walker Lyons in the 216th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick218
Rnd7
Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu in the 218th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick227
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
Taking Raylen Wilson in the 227th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick230
Rnd7
Ty Benefield
They robbed the room for Ty Benefield here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick232
Rnd7
Cooper Barkate
Cooper Barkate at the 232nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233
Rnd7
Elijah Paige
Somehow Elijah Paige was still sitting there in pick 233, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick235
Rnd7
John Curry
The board fumbled John Curry all the way to No. 235, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick236
Rnd7
Ezra Christensen
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Ezra Christensen in Round 7, Pick 20, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick242
Rnd7
Drew Bobo
Circle this one: Drew Bobo at slot 242 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243
Rnd7
Xavier Lucas
You do not let a cornerback like Xavier Lucas reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick244
Rnd7
Jaleel Johnson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaleel Johnson at the Round 7 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245
Rnd7
Darian Mensah
Steal is underselling it; Darian Mensah at pick No. 245 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249
Rnd7
Sheridan Wilson
Sheridan Wilson at the 249th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick250
Rnd7
Benjamin Brahmer
They barely believed it either: Benjamin Brahmer still on the board at No. 250. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252
Rnd7
Malachi Breland
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 252 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253
Rnd7
Elinneus Davis
Elinneus Davis at pick 253 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick254
Rnd7
Tunmise Adeleye
A tidy little value on Tunmise Adeleye in Round 7, Pick 38, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick256
Rnd7
Christian Alliegro
Somehow Christian Alliegro was still sitting there in the 256th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick257
Rnd7
Josh Hoover
Josh Hoover in No. 257 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
