Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers won the night they stopped Little Jr. from sliding. Grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Earl Little Jr. had no business being available in pick No. 157, and the Chargers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They will need White to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Chargers paired the rookies with proven help, Will Anderson Jr. leading the way.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
In slot 22 they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick86 Rnd3 Samson Okunlola
Samson Okunlola in the 86th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
No drama and no debate, Kade Pieper went about where he belonged in the 92nd overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick93 Rnd3 Charlie Becker
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 93 is the definition of value, full stop. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick94 Rnd3 Kewan Lacy
Taking Kewan Lacy in Round 3, Pick 30 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jamari Sharpe
Jamari Sharpe in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick123 Rnd4 Zach Lutmer
No edge and no loss on Zach Lutmer in pick No. 123; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick128 Rnd4 Brandon Inniss
They paid a round early for Brandon Inniss in pick 128, more than the board wanted. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick133 Rnd4 Greg Johnson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Greg Johnson reach the 133rd pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick138 Rnd4 Trey White
Trey White in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick154 Rnd5 Mateen Ibirogba
A tidy little value on Mateen Ibirogba in pick 154, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick156 Rnd5 Walker Lyons
Walker Lyons at Round 5, Pick 18 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick157 Rnd5 Earl Little Jr.
The board fumbled Earl Little Jr. all the way to slot 157, and they scooped it up. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick167 Rnd5 LaNorris Sellers
LaNorris Sellers in pick No. 167 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick202 Rnd6 Payton Pierce
The board had Payton Pierce higher than the 202nd overall pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick233 Rnd7 Elinneus Davis
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Elinneus Davis at No. 233. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Stephiylan Green
They did well to land Stephiylan Green in the 245th pick, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
