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

Some picks age like wine; Fabien Lovett at pick 183 will need to, sitting 151 spots clear of his grade. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Newton. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Brock Bowers
Brock Bowers at the 37th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at pick 74 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 96 with a little surplus value in Bucky Irving. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A wild overpay on Zion Tupuola-Fetui in No. 105, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at slot 142 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick145 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in pick No. 145 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They jumped the gun on Joe Milton III, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
They reached a country mile for Fabien Lovett at pick 183, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
Ja'Had Carter in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
