Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Chargers and Loveland: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Chargers were there to profit. Colston Loveland, the No. 25 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 55th pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In pick 22 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in Round 2, Pick 23 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick86 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
They will replay Dylan Sampson at slot 86 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They let Jordan Phillips come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
Circle this one: Jonas Sanker at pick No. 158 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick181 Rnd6 Elijah Roberts
No drama and no debate, Elijah Roberts went about where he belonged in the 181st overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jay Toia
By-the-book stuff, Jay Toia at the 199th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
