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

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Chargers did exactly that with Jack Westover in No. 257. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Jacobs value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 26th overall pick they get a true top target at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Junior Colson. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick69 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in pick No. 69 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mike Sainristil in pick 89. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104 Rnd4 Blake Corum
Taking Blake Corum in the 104th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Maason Smith
By-the-book stuff, Maason Smith at No. 110 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick120 Rnd4 Javon Foster
No drama and no debate, Javon Foster went about where he belonged in the 120th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick140 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trevor Keegan. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade at slot 145 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the Round 5 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick210 Rnd6 Trey Knox
They liked Trey Knox enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 210. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick225 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They reached into another round for Sam Hartman, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick230 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
Value said wait; Richard Jibunor in the 230th overall pick says they were not listening. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick256 Rnd7 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at pick No. 256 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick257 Rnd7 Jack Westover
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jack Westover well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
