Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesC FutureB
Good, not great, for the Chargers: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Myles Hinton at the 251st overall pick, a reach of 85 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

They banked enough surplus on Mullings to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Taking Tate Ratledge in the 56th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in slot 88 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings at the 125th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick160 Rnd5 Harold Perkins Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Harold Perkins Jr. in pick 160, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick175 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
They did well to land Donovan Jackson in pick No. 175, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185 Rnd6 Rod Moore
Rod Moore in pick No. 185 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jaishawn Barham
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaishawn Barham at the 200th overall pick is the proof. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
Value with a capital V on Jared Wilson in pick 207, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick213 Rnd6 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in No. 213 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Raheem Anderson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Raheem Anderson this early at the 219th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick251 Rnd7 Myles Hinton
They reached into another round for Myles Hinton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
