Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
D
ValueA+
NeedC
TradesF
FutureB-
Siereveld should have been long gone. The Chargers pounced, and earned a D. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Austin Siereveld, No. 233, roughly 204 picks past where he belonged. It grades a D, and the process earned it.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Chargers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 2 of 2 of the wish list covered.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Jeremiah Smith
In the 22nd pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick55
Rnd2
Carter Smith
You do not let an offensive lineman like Carter Smith reach slot 55 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69
Rnd3
Matayo Uiagalelei
Matayo Uiagalelei at Round 3, Pick 5 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75
Rnd3
Cayden Green
They barely believed it either: Cayden Green still on the board at pick No. 75. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick86
Rnd3
Duce Robinson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Duce Robinson in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick87
Rnd3
Teitum Tuioti
Teitum Tuioti at pick 87 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88
Rnd3
A'Mauri Washington
They robbed the room for A'Mauri Washington here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick92
Rnd3
Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby in the 92nd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jayden Maiava
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jayden Maiava. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick100
Rnd3
Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
Circle this one: Kenyatta Jackson Jr. at No. 100 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jamari Johnson
Taking Jamari Johnson in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick133
Rnd4
Kade Pieper
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 133 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick135
Rnd4
Brice Pollock
Brice Pollock in the 135th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick152
Rnd5
Kewan Lacy
Kewan Lacy at Round 5, Pick 14 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick160
Rnd5
Trevor Lauck
The board fumbled Trevor Lauck all the way to pick No. 160, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171
Rnd5
LJ Martin
Steal is underselling it; LJ Martin at slot 171 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick202
Rnd6
Dashawn Spears
They will replay Dashawn Spears at the 202nd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick224
Rnd7
Rasheem Biles
Rasheem Biles in pick No. 224 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick227
Rnd7
Ahmad Moten Sr.
Somehow Ahmad Moten Sr. was still sitting there in slot 227, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick230
Rnd7
Will Heldt
Steal is underselling it; Will Heldt at Round 7, Pick 14 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick233
Rnd7
Austin Siereveld
Austin Siereveld in pick 233 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick236
Rnd7
Luke Montgomery
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Luke Montgomery in No. 236, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick237
Rnd7
Kelley Jones
Kelley Jones in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick245
Rnd7
Keon Sabb
Somehow Keon Sabb was still sitting there in the 245th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick248
Rnd7
Wyatt Young
Wyatt Young in Round 7, Pick 32 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick249
Rnd7
Anthony Smith
They robbed the room for Anthony Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick252
Rnd7
Ezra Christensen
They will replay Ezra Christensen at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick253
Rnd7
Walker Lyons
You do not let a tight end like Walker Lyons reach slot 253 and blink. They did not. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick254
Rnd7
Jyaire Hill
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 254 is the definition of value, full stop. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick257
Rnd7
Devin McCuin
They barely believed it either: Devin McCuin still on the board at the 257th pick. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
