Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Washington should have been long gone. The Chargers pounced, and earned a A-.

The Chargers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and A'Mauri Washington fell into pick No. 72. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Every board in the league had Smith lower, and that gap is the story.

The Chargers paired the rookies with proven help, Brian Thomas Jr. leading the way. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Ahmad Hardy and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Ahmad Hardy
In the 23rd overall pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kewan Lacy
They read the board right and Kewan Lacy was the payoff at the 58th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
They will replay Kade Pieper at pick 65 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Austin Simmons
A conviction pick on Austin Simmons at pick No. 68 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick72 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in Round 3, Pick 8 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Bear Alexander
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bear Alexander at the Round 3 slot is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Devan Thompkins
Nice patience on Devan Thompkins, who had no business lasting to slot 86. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Anthony Smith
The board had cheaper options than Anthony Smith at No. 87, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb in the 88th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick102 Rnd4 Greg Johnson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Greg Johnson in the 102nd pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Nyck Harbor
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nyck Harbor. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jaylen McClain
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaylen McClain in slot 110. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick118 Rnd4 Faletau Satuala
A tidy bit of business in pick 118, where Faletau Satuala graded well above the range. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick122 Rnd4 Peter Clarke
Peter Clarke in pick No. 122 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick124 Rnd4 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson slipping to No. 124 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick127 Rnd4 Myles Graham
No edge and no loss on Myles Graham in Round 4, Pick 26; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tony Rojas
They took Tony Rojas at par in the 128th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jayden Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Jayden Jackson a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick136 Rnd4 Amare Ferrell
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 35, with Amare Ferrell worth more than the price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick138 Rnd5 Cooper Barkate
Cooper Barkate at the Round 5 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Nico Iamaleava
A reasonable price with a little left over, Nico Iamaleava in slot 144. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick145 Rnd5 A.J. Harris
They jumped the gun on A.J. Harris, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick159 Rnd5 Christian Gray
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Christian Gray at pick No. 159. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Mateen Ibirogba
No drama and no debate, Mateen Ibirogba went about where he belonged in the 169th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185 Rnd6 James Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take James Smith this early at slot 185. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 Xavier Lucas
They robbed the room for Xavier Lucas here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Drew Bobo
They barely believed it either: Drew Bobo still on the board at pick No. 221. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick234 Rnd7 Payton Pierce
Payton Pierce at Round 7, Pick 14 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick247 Rnd7 Elinneus Davis
They liked Elinneus Davis enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 247. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
