Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Nobody else had Chantz Williams anywhere near the Round 6 slot. The Chargers did, by 296 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

That Wells Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
A straight-up fair deal on Ashton Gillotte at pick No. 55, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
A conviction pick on Gunnar Helm at pick 86 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick124 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They paid sticker price for Darius Alexander in No. 124, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick159 Rnd5 Sean Martin
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sean Martin in slot 159, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177 Rnd5 Ty French
Ty French at the 177th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick183 Rnd6 Chantz Williams
A big swing on Chantz Williams at the 183rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick201 Rnd6 Kurtis Rourke
They will replay Kurtis Rourke at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick215 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
Steal is underselling it; DJ Giddens at pick 215 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd7 Cobee Bryant
Somehow Cobee Bryant was still sitting there in the 220th overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick253 Rnd7 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. at Round 7, Pick 35 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
