Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureD+
The Chargers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Chargers started one anyway for J.J. Weaver, 128 picks ahead of schedule.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Grant.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick 22 they get a lockdown presence outside at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They let Kenneth Grant come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 7. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A quiet steal in slot 49: Tyler Booker for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
They read the board right and Mason Taylor was the payoff at the 86th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bhayshul Tuten. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at pick No. 125 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick158 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 158 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick181 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at No. 181 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylen Reed at the 199th overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick209 Rnd6 Addison West
They paid up for Addison West at the Round 6 slot when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick214 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
No drama and no debate, R.J. Mickens went about where he belonged in pick No. 214. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick256 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
A big swing on J.J. Weaver at the 256th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
