Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
B
ValueB-
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureC
The Chargers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Chargers shredded theirs for Kameryn Crawford. He came off 41 spots early, and the room will hear about it.
The Echoles value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
The Chargers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick42
Rnd2
Chris Peal
No drama and no debate, Chris Peal went about where he belonged in pick No. 42. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick55
Rnd2
Will Echoles
Will Echoles at Round 2, Pick 23 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70
Rnd3
A'Mauri Washington
Taking A'Mauri Washington in pick 70 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick84
Rnd3
Samson Okunlola
Somehow Samson Okunlola was still sitting there in No. 84, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85
Rnd3
Luke Montgomery
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Luke Montgomery in the Round 3 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86
Rnd3
Faletau Satuala
Faletau Satuala in the 86th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick87
Rnd3
Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander at the 87th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88
Rnd3
Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper in No. 88 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89
Rnd3
Nick Marsh
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nick Marsh. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jayden Maiava
Jayden Maiava at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick102
Rnd4
Kameryn Crawford
A wild overpay on Kameryn Crawford in pick 102, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108
Rnd4
Brandon Inniss
Brandon Inniss at pick No. 108 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115
Rnd4
J'Koby Williams
J'Koby Williams in slot 115 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick118
Rnd4
Koi Perich
By-the-book stuff, Koi Perich at the 118th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick119
Rnd4
Greg Johnson
Nice patience on Greg Johnson, who had no business lasting to slot 119. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123
Rnd4
Ty Benefield
No edge and no loss on Ty Benefield in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick131
Rnd4
Mateen Ibirogba
Mateen Ibirogba at the 131st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139
Rnd5
Walker Lyons
Walker Lyons at pick 139 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144
Rnd5
Elijah Paige
They took Elijah Paige at par in Round 5, Pick 6, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147
Rnd5
Nicholas Rodriguez
Nicholas Rodriguez in the 147th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick152
Rnd5
Quay'sheed Scott
A straight-up fair deal on Quay'sheed Scott at No. 152, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick156
Rnd5
Drew Bobo
Drew Bobo slipping to pick No. 156 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick157
Rnd5
Amaris Williams
Amaris Williams at Round 5, Pick 19 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick198
Rnd6
Christian Alliegro
They paid sticker price for Christian Alliegro in the 198th overall pick, and that is fine. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick202
Rnd6
La'khi Roland
La'khi Roland in pick 202 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216
Rnd6
Jay'Vion Cole
Good price on Jay'Vion Cole in the 216th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227
Rnd7
Stephiylan Green
A straight-up fair deal on Stephiylan Green at No. 227, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick230
Rnd7
D'Antre Robinson
D'Antre Robinson in pick No. 230 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick235
Rnd7
Antonio Kite
They read the board right and Antonio Kite was the payoff at the Round 7 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236
Rnd7
Addison Nichols
They did well to land Addison Nichols in slot 236, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick239
Rnd7
Isaac Brown
They took Isaac Brown at par in the 239th pick, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick243
Rnd7
Austin Romaine
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Austin Romaine at pick 243 is the proof. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick244
Rnd7
Evan Stewart
They went early on Evan Stewart in Round 7, Pick 28, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick253
Rnd7
DeSean Bishop
No edge and no loss on DeSean Bishop in slot 253; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
