Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers let Winston Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Somebody in No. 213 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Chargers sat still while Kevin Winston Jr., the No. 90 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Alexander reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In slot 20 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in the 52nd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in pick 84 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121 Rnd4 Bear Alexander
A big swing on Bear Alexander at the 121st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick157 Rnd5 Bryce Foster
They paid up for Bryce Foster at Round 5, Pick 19 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at No. 175 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jaeden Roberts
Taking Jaeden Roberts in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick196 Rnd6 Devin Neal
The board fumbled Devin Neal all the way to pick No. 196, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick213 Rnd6 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the 213th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick225 Rnd7 Antonio Williams
Steal is underselling it; Antonio Williams at Round 7, Pick 11 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick252 Rnd7 PJ Williams
They will replay PJ Williams at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
