Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers robbed the room for Leonard. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Riley Leonard got past him. The Chargers do not have to explain a thing at pick 183. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Circle this one: Colston Loveland at the 55th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick 86 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick124 Rnd4 Charles Grant
They robbed the room for Charles Grant here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick159 Rnd5 Cody Simon
They barely believed it either: Cody Simon still on the board at Round 5, Pick 20. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick177 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at slot 177 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.
Pick183 Rnd6 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard in pick No. 183 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick201 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
A running back of that caliber at No. 201 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick215 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 215th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in pick 220 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick253 Rnd7 Clay Webb
A slide stopped in No. 253, with Clay Webb worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
