Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Stone Handy, 105 picks early at slot 256. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Fidone II.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In No. 22 they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They paid sticker price for Alfred Collins in pick No. 55, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick86 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at slot 86 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick125 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
They paid up for Mello Dotson at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick158 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
A tidy bit of business in the 158th pick, where Pat Bryant graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in the 181st overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick199 Rnd6 RJ Oben
They reached a country mile for RJ Oben at pick No. 199, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
A reach for Howard Cross III in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick214 Rnd6 Thomas Fidone II
A quiet steal in Round 6, Pick 38: Thomas Fidone II for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick256 Rnd7 Stone Handy
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Stone Handy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
