Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 104: the Chargers steal Dorlus and grade out a C+.

Somebody took the Chargers to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

The Dorlus value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick 6 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in the 37th overall pick with a little surplus value in Ennis Rakestraw Jr.. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick47 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick62 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They read the board right and Braden Fiske was the payoff at No. 62. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in Round 3, Pick 5 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Brandon Dorlus
They robbed the room for Brandon Dorlus here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Nothing to complain about; Jamari Thrash went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
Nice patience on Cedric Gray, who had no business lasting to the 139th pick. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick183 Rnd6 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in No. 183 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
A reasonable price with a little left over, Michael Barrett in pick No. 223. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick248 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
A tidy little value on LaDarius Henderson in slot 248, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Josh Wallace
No drama and no debate, Josh Wallace went about where he belonged in the 249th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick250 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Evan Williams in Round 7, Pick 30 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick256 Rnd7 KT Leveston
You do not let an offensive lineman like KT Leveston reach pick 256 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
