Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC- FutureA+
The Chargers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

There is real value in patience, and the Chargers banked it when Tre Harris slid to the 184th overall pick. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at No. 38 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
No drama and no debate, Sedrick Van Pran went about where he belonged in the 70th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 Audric Estime
By-the-book stuff, Audric Estime at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick157 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ben Sinnott. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick166 Rnd5 Braden Fiske
No edge and no loss on Braden Fiske in pick No. 166; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick184 Rnd6 Tre Harris
Tre Harris is a better player than pick 184 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227 Rnd7 Kaimon Rucker
Good price on Kaimon Rucker in No. 227, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
