Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Chargers took Que Robinson at Round 5, Pick 20, roughly 33 spots before his name belonged.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Landing Stout that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In pick 22 they get a load in the middle, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in the 55th pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
A conviction pick on Ashton Gillotte at the 86th overall pick that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kaimon Rucker
A big swing on Kaimon Rucker at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick158 Rnd5 Que Robinson
Que Robinson at slot 158 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick181 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
They paid a round early for Oronde Gadsden II in No. 181, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick199 Rnd6 Upton Stout
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Upton Stout in Round 6, Pick 23. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
