Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Chargers this weekend: B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Chargers would have aced it. Mike Sainristil at pick No. 37 is 43 spots clear of where he belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. However the rest shakes out, Wilson at that price is a win they earned.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Trey Benson
In slot 27 they get a lead back with juice, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
Taliese Fuaga at Round 2, Pick 3 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick37 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in the 37th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick38 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick66 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They reached a country mile for Sedrick Van Pran at the 66th pick, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
A straight-up fair deal on Brandon Dorlus at pick No. 69, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
A tidy little value on Ruke Orhorhoro in pick No. 71, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick106 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
Somehow Roman Wilson was still sitting there in the 106th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in No. 139 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick183 Rnd6 Trey Knox
They paid sticker price for Trey Knox in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick184 Rnd6 Braelon Allen
You do not let a running back like Braelon Allen reach the 184th pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick223 Rnd7 Zion Logue
They talked themselves into Zion Logue at Round 7, Pick 3, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick256 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at pick 256 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
