Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
C
ValueA+
NeedB-
TradesF
FutureB-
The Chargers robbed the room for Siereveld. Final grade: C. The Chargers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Austin Siereveld fell into slot 221.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Chargers paired the rookies with proven help, Will Anderson Jr. leading the way. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.
Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.
It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
Pick Analysis
Pick47
Rnd2
Carter Smith
The board fumbled Carter Smith all the way to the 47th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick55
Rnd2
Duce Robinson
Steal is underselling it; Duce Robinson at pick 55 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75
Rnd3
Teitum Tuioti
Teitum Tuioti at pick No. 75 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78
Rnd3
Cayden Green
Taking Cayden Green in Round 3, Pick 14 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84
Rnd3
Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby in No. 84 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86
Rnd3
A'Mauri Washington
Circle this one: A'Mauri Washington at slot 86 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87
Rnd3
Justin Scott
Justin Scott in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88
Rnd3
Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Kenyatta Jackson Jr. in the 88th pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick97
Rnd3
KJ Duff
You do not let a wide receiver like KJ Duff reach Round 3, Pick 33 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100
Rnd3
Brice Pollock
Brice Pollock at pick 100 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102
Rnd4
Jadan Baugh
Jadan Baugh at pick No. 102 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jayden Maiava
Jayden Maiava in slot 117 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120
Rnd4
Kade Pieper
They will replay Kade Pieper at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jamari Johnson
Somehow Jamari Johnson was still sitting there in No. 123, and they pounced on premier tight end value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick127
Rnd4
Rasheem Biles
They barely believed it either: Rasheem Biles still on the board at the 127th overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick133
Rnd4
Wyatt Young
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 133rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134
Rnd4
Keon Sabb
They robbed the room for Keon Sabb here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick138
Rnd4
Nyck Harbor
The board fumbled Nyck Harbor all the way to Round 4, Pick 38, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143
Rnd5
Bray Hubbard
Bray Hubbard in slot 143 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick158
Rnd5
Trevor Lauck
Trevor Lauck in the 158th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick160
Rnd5
Devin McCuin
They barely believed it either: Devin McCuin still on the board at pick No. 160. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172
Rnd5
Kewan Lacy
Kewan Lacy at No. 172 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick174
Rnd5
Luke Montgomery
They robbed the room for Luke Montgomery here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick177
Rnd5
Will Heldt
Will Heldt in the 177th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180
Rnd6
Kelley Jones
They will replay Kelley Jones at No. 180 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick183
Rnd6
Bear Alexander
Circle this one: Bear Alexander at the 183rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick184
Rnd6
Princewill Umanmielen
Princewill Umanmielen at the 184th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick191
Rnd6
Peter Clarke
Somehow Peter Clarke was still sitting there in pick No. 191, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick194
Rnd6
Walker Lyons
You do not let a tight end like Walker Lyons reach Round 6, Pick 15 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick199
Rnd6
Mateen Ibirogba
Taking Mateen Ibirogba in slot 199 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202
Rnd6
Jyaire Hill
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jyaire Hill in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216
Rnd6
Raylen Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Raylen Wilson at pick 216 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick219
Rnd7
LJ Martin
LJ Martin at the 219th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick221
Rnd7
Austin Siereveld
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 221st pick is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick230
Rnd7
Ahmad Moten Sr.
Ahmad Moten Sr. at slot 230 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick232
Rnd7
Evan Tengesdahl
They will replay Evan Tengesdahl at pick No. 232 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick234
Rnd7
Anthony Smith
Circle this one: Anthony Smith at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick236
Rnd7
Elijah Paige
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Elijah Paige in Round 7, Pick 20, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240
Rnd7
Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu in No. 240 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick243
Rnd7
Corey Myrick
The board fumbled Corey Myrick all the way to pick 243, and they scooped it up. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick244
Rnd7
John Curry
John Curry at No. 244 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249
Rnd7
Whit Weeks
Steal is underselling it; Whit Weeks at slot 249 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick250
Rnd7
Greg Johnson
Somehow Greg Johnson was still sitting there in pick No. 250, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick252
Rnd7
Christian Alliegro
They barely believed it either: Christian Alliegro still on the board at the 252nd pick. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick253
Rnd7
Cooper Barkate
Cooper Barkate in pick 253 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick254
Rnd7
Ezra Christensen
Taking Ezra Christensen in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick256
Rnd7
Xavier Lucas
They robbed the room for Xavier Lucas here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick257
Rnd7
Omarion Miller
Omarion Miller at Round 7, Pick 41 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
