Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB FutureA+
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Chargers: B+.

Some picks age like wine; Mycah Pittman at pick No. 256 will need to, sitting 120 spots clear of his grade. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Chargers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in the 37th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at Round 3, Pick 5 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A reach for Bucky Irving in No. 81; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
They reached into another round for Drake Nugent, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick139 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
They talked themselves into LaDarius Henderson at pick 139, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick183 Rnd6 AJ Barner
They left a pile of value on the table to take AJ Barner this early at pick No. 183. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick223 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
A big swing on J.J. Weaver at No. 223, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick256 Rnd7 Mycah Pittman
A real head-scratcher, Mycah Pittman in Round 7, Pick 36 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
