Draft Grade — Chargers

The Chargers let Skattebo fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Chargers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Cam Skattebo, the No. 114 name on the board, in the 213th pick.

Batty has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In slot 22 they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland is a better player than the 55th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
A running back of that caliber at the 86th pick is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick124 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at No. 124 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick157 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
They robbed the room for Kalel Mullings here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick179 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 179 with a little surplus value in Willie Lampkin. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick198 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
The board fumbled Sonny Styles all the way to pick 198, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick208 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick213 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick No. 213 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
A tidy bit of business in the Round 7 slot, where Seth McLaughlin graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252 Rnd7 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at No. 252 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
