Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chargers for Paul Jr.: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Chris Paul Jr. tumbling to the Chargers in pick No. 217 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Dellinger pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Colston Loveland at the 55th overall pick is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 22, where Deone Walker graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
They did well to land Daylen Everette in the 124th pick, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick157 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Somehow Cam Skattebo was still sitting there in slot 157, and they pounced on premier running back value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick179 Rnd6 Kyren Lacy
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Kyren Lacy in pick 179, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
By-the-book stuff, Seth McLaughlin at No. 198 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208 Rnd6 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at pick No. 208 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at pick No. 213 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick217 Rnd7 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in the 217th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Steal is underselling it; Jack Kiser at slot 252 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
