Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Chargers.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Lander Barton, Round 6, Pick 22, roughly 73 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Reaching for McCoy left real value on the table behind him. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 22 they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Value with a capital V on Tyler Warren in slot 55, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They reached a country mile for Cam Skattebo at pick 86, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 123rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick157 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach the 157th overall pick and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick179 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick197 Rnd6 Lander Barton
Taking Lander Barton in No. 197 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at pick No. 208 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick213 Rnd6 Logan Parr
Logan Parr at Round 6, Pick 38 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick218 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bru McCoy in slot 218, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A reasonable price with a little left over, Luke Lachey in pick No. 253. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
