Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Chargers: C+.

There is reaching, and then there is Steven Parker at pick 256. The Chargers jumped the board by 113 and dared it to prove them wrong.

They banked enough surplus on Belton to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. They will answer for taking specialist early while wide receiver, cornerback and other spots went begging.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Bradyn Swinson
In pick 22 they get a disruptor off the edge, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at No. 55 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Cameron Williams in slot 86, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ryan Fitzgerald
A curious use of the 125th overall pick. Wide receiver, cornerback and other spots needed the pick; a specialist in Ryan Fitzgerald did not.
Pick158 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
You do not let an offensive lineman like Anthony Belton reach Round 5, Pick 20 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in pick No. 181 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jeremy Crawshaw
Jeremy Crawshaw in slot 199 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick209 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Upton Stout at pick 209 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick214 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Value with a capital V on Joshua Gray in pick No. 214, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick256 Rnd7 Steven Parker
A big swing on Steven Parker at the 256th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
