Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
D
ValueB
NeedC
TradesF
FutureA+
The Chargers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D. The Chargers went off the board in a big way for Braylan Shelby, 73 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It grades a D, and the process earned it.
The Green pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.
The Chargers paired the rookies with proven help, Armand Membou leading the way. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Jeremiah Smith
In the 2nd overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value.
Pick22
Rnd1
Colin Simmons
In slot 22 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31
Rnd1
David Stone
In No. 31 they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick33
Rnd2
Cam Coleman
The board had Cam Coleman higher than pick No. 33, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick39
Rnd2
Zabien Brown
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Zabien Brown at pick 39 is the proof. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick42
Rnd2
Will Echoles
Will Echoles in Round 2, Pick 10 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick48
Rnd2
Trevor Goosby
They robbed the room for Trevor Goosby here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick56
Rnd2
Ahmad Hardy
Ahmad Hardy in slot 56 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick58
Rnd2
A'Mauri Washington
Somehow A'Mauri Washington was still sitting there in pick No. 58, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick65
Rnd3
Jamari Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Jamari Johnson at the 65th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick75
Rnd3
Charlie Becker
Charlie Becker in Round 3, Pick 11 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick78
Rnd3
Samson Okunlola
Nice patience on Samson Okunlola, who had no business lasting to the 78th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick81
Rnd3
Faletau Satuala
Faletau Satuala in pick 81 is fair value, right on his grade. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick82
Rnd3
Andrew Sprague
Andrew Sprague is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick83
Rnd3
Trey'Dez Green
Trey'Dez Green in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick84
Rnd3
Luke Montgomery
Nothing to complain about; Luke Montgomery went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86
Rnd3
Kade Pieper
A straight-up fair deal on Kade Pieper at slot 86, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jyaire Hill
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jyaire Hill in No. 87. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick88
Rnd3
Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander in the 88th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick98
Rnd3
Jayden Maiava
By-the-book stuff, Jayden Maiava at pick 98 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick99
Rnd3
LJ Martin
LJ Martin at Round 3, Pick 35 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick100
Rnd3
Evan Tengesdahl
A quiet steal in the 100th pick: Evan Tengesdahl for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick107
Rnd4
Brandon Inniss
Value said wait; Brandon Inniss in pick No. 107 says they were not listening. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick123
Rnd4
Raylen Wilson
You do not let a linebacker like Raylen Wilson reach No. 123 and blink. They did not. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick128
Rnd4
A.J. Harris
A.J. Harris at the 128th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick138
Rnd4
Mateen Ibirogba
No drama and no debate, Mateen Ibirogba went about where he belonged in pick 138. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141
Rnd5
Kameryn Crawford
They took Kameryn Crawford at par in the 141st overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143
Rnd5
Walker Lyons
They paid sticker price for Walker Lyons in Round 5, Pick 5, and that is fine. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick152
Rnd5
Ty Benefield
Taking Ty Benefield in slot 152 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick160
Rnd5
Elijah Paige
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Elijah Paige at the Round 5 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick172
Rnd5
Braylan Shelby
Braylan Shelby at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173
Rnd5
Payton Pierce
They paid up for Payton Pierce at pick 173 when waiting would have done the job. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick175
Rnd5
Christian Alliegro
They reached into another round for Christian Alliegro, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick178
Rnd5
Drew Bobo
They barely believed it either: Drew Bobo still on the board at the 178th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick184
Rnd6
Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at pick No. 184 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick192
Rnd6
Francis Brewu
No edge and no loss on Francis Brewu in Round 6, Pick 13; it is a wash and a sensible one. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick195
Rnd6
La'khi Roland
La'khi Roland at No. 195 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick202
Rnd6
Benjamin Brahmer
Benjamin Brahmer at slot 202 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick206
Rnd6
Emmanuel Karnley
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Emmanuel Karnley in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick210
Rnd6
King Mack
King Mack at Round 6, Pick 31 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick217
Rnd7
Coen Echols
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 217 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick218
Rnd7
Jay'Vion Cole
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jay'Vion Cole. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick220
Rnd7
Nyziah Hunter
Circle this one: Nyziah Hunter at the 220th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick221
Rnd7
Jordan Faison
They will replay Jordan Faison at slot 221 for years; that is how good the value is. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick223
Rnd7
Sheridan Wilson
Sheridan Wilson slid further than he should have, and pick No. 223 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225
Rnd7
Stephiylan Green
Stephiylan Green in the 225th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick227
Rnd7
Antonio Kite
Antonio Kite at Round 7, Pick 11 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick228
Rnd7
Randon Fontenette
By-the-book stuff, Randon Fontenette at pick 228 squarely in line with his ranking. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick230
Rnd7
Cole Sullivan
Value with a capital V on Cole Sullivan in slot 230, a genuine coup. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick231
Rnd7
Sammy Omosigho
Sammy Omosigho at pick No. 231 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick232
Rnd7
D'Antre Robinson
They talked themselves into D'Antre Robinson at the 232nd pick, and the board did not agree. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick233
Rnd7
Evan Stewart
A real head-scratcher, Evan Stewart in the 233rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick234
Rnd7
John Mateer
John Mateer slipping to the Round 7 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick235
Rnd7
DeAndre Moore Jr.
The board fumbled DeAndre Moore Jr. all the way to No. 235, and they scooped it up. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick236
Rnd7
Addison Nichols
Addison Nichols at pick No. 236 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick237
Rnd7
Tavion Gadson
They took Tavion Gadson at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick238
Rnd7
Smith Snowden
A reasonable price with a little left over, Smith Snowden in pick 238. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick239
Rnd7
Mario Landino
A straight-up fair deal on Mario Landino at Round 7, Pick 23, value and slot in agreement. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick240
Rnd7
Mark Nabou Jr.
Circle this one: Mark Nabou Jr. at the 240th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241
Rnd7
Kyle Altuner
Kyle Altuner at No. 241 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick242
Rnd7
OJ Frederique Jr.
No drama and no debate, OJ Frederique Jr. went about where he belonged in slot 242. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick243
Rnd7
Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah in the 243rd pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick244
Rnd7
Sullivan Absher
Sullivan Absher at pick No. 244 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245
Rnd7
Xavier Scott
A wild overpay on Xavier Scott in pick 245, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick246
Rnd7
Aaron Scott Jr.
Aaron Scott Jr. in No. 246 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick247
Rnd7
DJ Vonnahme
DJ Vonnahme at the Round 7 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick248
Rnd7
Darius Taylor
Darius Taylor in the 248th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick249
Rnd7
Joe Otting
Joe Otting at the 249th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick250
Rnd7
Khalil Barnes
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Khalil Barnes well ahead of where he belonged. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick251
Rnd7
Kamari Wilson
Kamari Wilson at Round 7, Pick 35 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick252
Rnd7
Kelby Collins
They liked Kelby Collins enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 7 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick253
Rnd7
Austin Romaine
A slide stopped in pick No. 253, with Austin Romaine worth more than the price. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick254
Rnd7
Elliot Washington II
Elliot Washington II at No. 254 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick255
Rnd7
Joenel Aguero
Taking Joenel Aguero in Round 7, Pick 39 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick256
Rnd7
Chris Marshall
Chris Marshall in pick 256 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick257
Rnd7
Bradyn Joiner
A tidy bit of business in the 257th pick, where Bradyn Joiner graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
