Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Chargers did not so much draft Jamaree Caldwell as overpay for him, 118 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Kiser value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 22nd overall pick they get a mismatch in the passing game. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They will replay Omarion Hampton at pick No. 55 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
They talked themselves into Anthony Belton at pick 86, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They liked Darius Alexander enough to skip the value, taking him in the 123rd pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim slipping to slot 157 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at Round 6, Pick 4 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Nice patience on Jaylen Reed, who had no business lasting to pick No. 197. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick208 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
Circle this one: Damien Martinez at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick213 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in Round 6, Pick 38 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick218 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
By-the-book stuff, Seth McLaughlin at the 218th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in pick 253 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
