Draft Grade — Chargers

FutureB
The Chargers robbed the room for Sabb. Final grade: B-. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Keon Sabb, the No. 53 name on the board, stolen at slot 242. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
They trusted the board more than the depth chart.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick55
Rnd2
Carter Smith
Carter Smith at pick No. 55 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick63
Rnd2
Teitum Tuioti
The board fumbled Teitum Tuioti all the way to pick 63, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Duce Robinson
You do not let a wide receiver like Duce Robinson reach Round 3, Pick 11 and blink. They did not. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick78
Rnd3
Cayden Green
Steal is underselling it; Cayden Green at slot 78 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick86
Rnd3
Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby at the 86th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88
Rnd3
Brice Pollock
Taking Brice Pollock in the 88th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick95
Rnd3
Jayden Maiava
Jayden Maiava at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jamari Johnson
A tight end of that caliber at No. 99 is the definition of value, full stop. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick100
Rnd3
Ahmad Hardy
Ahmad Hardy in the 100th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick108
Rnd4
Dante Moore
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Dante Moore in pick No. 108, plain and simple. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick123
Rnd4
Justin Scott
Justin Scott in pick 123 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jadan Baugh
They robbed the room for Jadan Baugh here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick128
Rnd4
A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in slot 128 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133
Rnd4
Will Heldt
Circle this one: Will Heldt at the 133rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135
Rnd4
Dashawn Spears
They barely believed it either: Dashawn Spears still on the board at the Round 4 slot. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick138
Rnd4
Kelley Jones
Kelley Jones at Round 4, Pick 38 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick159
Rnd5
Bear Alexander
They will replay Bear Alexander at the 159th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164
Rnd5
Ahmad Moten Sr.
Somehow Ahmad Moten Sr. was still sitting there in the 164th pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick175
Rnd5
Rasheem Biles
You do not let a linebacker like Rasheem Biles reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick178
Rnd5
Trevor Lauck
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Trevor Lauck in No. 178, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick192
Rnd6
Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper in pick 192 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick194
Rnd6
Luke Montgomery
Luke Montgomery in pick No. 194 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202
Rnd6
LJ Martin
They barely believed it either: LJ Martin still on the board at Round 6, Pick 23. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick206
Rnd6
Evan Tengesdahl
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 206 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick210
Rnd6
Austin Siereveld
Austin Siereveld at the 210th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick216
Rnd6
Wyatt Young
Somehow Wyatt Young was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick218
Rnd7
Mateen Ibirogba
They will replay Mateen Ibirogba at No. 218 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick223
Rnd7
Greg Johnson
They robbed the room for Greg Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick227
Rnd7
Anthony Smith
Anthony Smith in Round 7, Pick 11 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230
Rnd7
Walker Lyons
Steal is underselling it; Walker Lyons at the 230th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick236
Rnd7
Devin McCuin
The board fumbled Devin McCuin all the way to pick 236, and they scooped it up. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick237
Rnd7
Omarion Miller
Omarion Miller at pick No. 237 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick242
Rnd7
Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb at pick No. 242 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick243
Rnd7
Jyaire Hill
Circle this one: Jyaire Hill at Round 7, Pick 27 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick244
Rnd7
Sammy Brown
Taking Sammy Brown in the 244th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick245
Rnd7
Ty Benefield
They barely believed it either: Ty Benefield still on the board at the Round 7 slot. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick247
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 247 is the definition of value, full stop. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick248
Rnd7
John Curry
Taking John Curry in slot 248 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick249
Rnd7
Cooper Barkate
Cooper Barkate in pick 249 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick250
Rnd7
Elijah Paige
Elijah Paige in the 250th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick251
Rnd7
Peter Clarke
Peter Clarke at pick 251 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick252
Rnd7
Elinneus Davis
Elinneus Davis at pick No. 252 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick253
Rnd7
Iapani Laloulu
The board fumbled Iapani Laloulu all the way to the 253rd pick, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick254
Rnd7
Xavier Lucas
Xavier Lucas in slot 254 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick255
Rnd7
Corey Myrick
You do not let a safety like Corey Myrick reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick256
Rnd7
Jayce Brown
Jayce Brown at No. 256 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick257
Rnd7
Christian Alliegro
They robbed the room for Christian Alliegro here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
