Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Chargers bled value on every deal, hence the C-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Hayden Conner in the 209th overall pick, a good 59 spots before the room expected him. The final tally is a middling C-.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Hit on Ashton Jeanty and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 15 they get an every-down engine for the run game, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick 55 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
A tidy bit of business in slot 86, where Elijah Arroyo graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
They paid sticker price for Nohl Williams in the 129th overall pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick136 Rnd4 Cody Simon
They did well to land Cody Simon in No. 136, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jalen McLeod
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen McLeod this early at Round 5, Pick 20. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick181 Rnd6 Ahmed Hassanein
A wild overpay on Ahmed Hassanein in slot 181, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick209 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in pick No. 209 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick214 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ty Hamilton. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick256 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway in pick 256 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
