Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
B-
ValueA+
NeedB-
TradesD+
FutureC+
The Chargers let Wilson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Chargers watched Raylen Wilson slide 162 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.
The veteran additions, Will Anderson Jr. chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a green-dot type in the middle, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick55
Rnd2
Carter Smith
Carter Smith at the 55th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick81
Rnd3
Cayden Green
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Cayden Green in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86
Rnd3
Duce Robinson
Steal is underselling it; Duce Robinson at pick 86 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95
Rnd3
Justin Scott
They robbed the room for Justin Scott here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113
Rnd4
Trevor Goosby
The board fumbled Trevor Goosby all the way to pick No. 113, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115
Rnd4
Teitum Tuioti
Teitum Tuioti at No. 115 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123
Rnd4
Brice Pollock
Somehow Brice Pollock was still sitting there in the 123rd pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125
Rnd4
A'Mauri Washington
They will replay A'Mauri Washington at the 125th pick for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127
Rnd4
Wyatt Young
They barely believed it either: Wyatt Young still on the board at Round 4, Pick 27. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130
Rnd4
Jamari Johnson
You do not let a tight end like Jamari Johnson reach pick 130 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131
Rnd4
Princewill Umanmielen
Taking Princewill Umanmielen in No. 131 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133
Rnd4
Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick138
Rnd4
Jayden Maiava
Jayden Maiava in pick No. 138 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152
Rnd5
Kewan Lacy
Kewan Lacy at the 152nd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick160
Rnd5
Luke Montgomery
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 160 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick172
Rnd5
Keon Sabb
Circle this one: Keon Sabb at pick No. 172 is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick173
Rnd5
Rasheem Biles
Rasheem Biles in the 173rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick184
Rnd6
Austin Siereveld
Somehow Austin Siereveld was still sitting there in No. 184, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick189
Rnd6
Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander in pick 189 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick190
Rnd6
Peter Clarke
Peter Clarke at Round 6, Pick 11 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick191
Rnd6
Trevor Lauck
The board fumbled Trevor Lauck all the way to slot 191, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick200
Rnd6
Ahmad Moten Sr.
Ahmad Moten Sr. in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202
Rnd6
Will Heldt
Will Heldt in the 202nd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick207
Rnd6
Jyaire Hill
They barely believed it either: Jyaire Hill still on the board at pick No. 207. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216
Rnd6
Kelley Jones
Kelley Jones at slot 216 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick230
Rnd7
Anthony Smith
Anthony Smith at the 230th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick232
Rnd7
Mateen Ibirogba
Circle this one: Mateen Ibirogba at pick 232 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236
Rnd7
LJ Martin
Steal is underselling it; LJ Martin at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick243
Rnd7
Devin McCuin
You do not let a wide receiver like Devin McCuin reach Round 7, Pick 27 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245
Rnd7
Elijah Paige
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Elijah Paige in No. 245, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick246
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
Taking Raylen Wilson in the 246th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick247
Rnd7
Iapani Laloulu
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick248
Rnd7
Greg Johnson
They will replay Greg Johnson at pick No. 248 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249
Rnd7
Cooper Barkate
They robbed the room for Cooper Barkate here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick250
Rnd7
Corey Myrick
Corey Myrick in the 250th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick251
Rnd7
Ty Benefield
You do not let a safety like Ty Benefield reach pick 251 and blink. They did not. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick252
Rnd7
Walker Lyons
Somehow Walker Lyons was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 36, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick253
Rnd7
Drew Bobo
Drew Bobo at No. 253 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick254
Rnd7
John Curry
A cornerback of that caliber at the 254th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick255
Rnd7
Omarion Miller
Steal is underselling it; Omarion Miller at slot 255 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick256
Rnd7
Christian Alliegro
Christian Alliegro in No. 256 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick257
Rnd7
Adon Shuler
Adon Shuler at pick 257 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
