Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC
Nobody dealt better than the Chargers this weekend: B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jimmy Horn Jr., 41 picks early at the Round 6 slot. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Loveland falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
No drama and no debate, Luther Burden III went about where he belonged in slot 16. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at the 35th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick82 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick118 Rnd4 Bryce Foster
A wild overpay on Bryce Foster in Round 4, Pick 17, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Hunter Wohler
A reach on Hunter Wohler in the 153rd pick; the board had better options right there. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick175 Rnd5 Mykel Williams
They reached into another round for Mykel Williams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jalon Walker
Value said wait; Jalon Walker in slot 180 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. at the 196th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 7 slot with a little surplus value in Fentrell Cypress II. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
