Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA-
The Chargers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

The Chargers did not so much draft Ty'Ron Hopper as overpay for him, 33 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Barner.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

In the end it comes back to Rome Odunze, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 15 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 37 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick58 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
Steal is underselling it; T.J. Tampa at pick 58 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in the 75th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick82 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A slide stopped in the 82nd overall pick, with Blake Corum worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ty'Ron Hopper
Value said wait; Ty'Ron Hopper in the 122nd pick says they were not listening. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick139 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
A real head-scratcher, Justin Rogers in Round 5, Pick 3 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in pick No. 143 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick183 Rnd6 Trey Knox
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Knox at the 183rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223 Rnd7 AJ Barner
Taking AJ Barner in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick230 Rnd7 Myles Jones
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Myles Jones at slot 230. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick256 Rnd7 Isaac Guerendo
No edge and no loss on Isaac Guerendo in No. 256; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
