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

The Chargers did not so much draft Tyler Batty as overpay for him, 40 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Evans pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
The board had cheaper options than Jack Sawyer at the Round 1 slot, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick55 Rnd2 Omarr Norman-Lott
They went early on Omarr Norman-Lott in the 55th pick, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Burch at No. 86 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo in pick No. 125 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick158 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
A quiet steal in the 158th overall pick: Mitchell Evans for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick181 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at pick 181 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick199 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
They reached into another round for Tyler Batty, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209 Rnd6 Craig Woodson
They liked Craig Woodson enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 209. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick214 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in the 214th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick256 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester in pick 256 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
