Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB
The Chargers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Chargers spent real capital to be 35 picks early on Antwaun Powell-Ryland, and the board is going to hold them to it. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took West.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A premium they did not need to pay, Tate Ratledge a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick97 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo is a better player than pick No. 97 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in No. 128 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at pick 139 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Vernon Broughton in the 158th pick, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
They liked Oronde Gadsden II enough to skip the value, taking him in the 181st pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the 187th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick199 Rnd6 CJ West
A tidy bit of business in the Round 6 slot, where CJ West graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick205 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
Good price on KeAndre Lambert-Smith in pick No. 205, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Nothing to complain about; Tahj Brooks went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Fair-plus on Jason Marshall Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick256 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Teddye Buchanan. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
