Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 6 slot: the Chargers steal Restrepo and grade out a B+.

The Chargers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Xavier Restrepo fell into pick 214. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In slot 27 they get a sticky cover corner, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Circle this one: Ashton Jeanty at pick 57 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
They robbed the room for Wyatt Milum here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in the 91st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at Round 4, Pick 25 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161 Rnd5 Colston Loveland
Taking Colston Loveland in the 161st pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jahdae Barron
Somehow Jahdae Barron was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180 Rnd6 Josaiah Stewart
You do not let an edge rusher like Josaiah Stewart reach No. 180 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick201 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in pick No. 201 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick214 Rnd6 Xavier Restrepo
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Xavier Restrepo in the 214th pick, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick224 Rnd7 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252 Rnd7 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at No. 252 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
