Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall D+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Quarterback settled, Williams in the fold, and a D+ for the Chargers.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ro Torrence had no business being available in Round 7, Pick 33, and the Chargers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Caleb Williams gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
No edge and no loss on Caleb Williams in the 1st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick11 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 23rd overall pick they get juice off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Legette at pick No. 37 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jer'Zhan Newton
Jer'Zhan Newton in Round 2, Pick 20 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick64 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at pick 64 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Value with a capital V on Jermaine Burton in the 69th pick, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at No. 75 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
A slide stopped in slot 83, with Jaylen Wright worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Sedrick Van Pran in Round 3, Pick 20. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick105 Rnd4 DJ James
DJ James in No. 105 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving in pick No. 106 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
They robbed the room for Jamari Thrash here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick155 Rnd5 James Williams
They barely believed it either: James Williams still on the board at slot 155. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
They let Jalyx Hunt come to them and pounced at the 167th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick181 Rnd6 Matt Goncalves
Circle this one: Matt Goncalves at pick 181 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Fabien Lovett
The board fumbled Fabien Lovett all the way to the 225th pick, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick253 Rnd7 Ro Torrence
They will replay Ro Torrence at pick No. 253 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
