Draft Grade — Chargers

FutureB-
The Chargers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Chargers spent pick No. 214 on Tonka Hemingway, a name most had 47 spots down the list.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On value alone, Loveland makes the weekend a net positive.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick39
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at pick 39 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick59
Rnd2
Quinshon Judkins
By-the-book stuff, Quinshon Judkins at the 59th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick64
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
A straight-up fair deal on Tate Ratledge at Round 2, Pick 32, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond slipping to No. 90 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
No edge and no loss on Jared Wilson in pick No. 101; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick136
Rnd4
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in slot 136 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick158
Rnd5
Ollie Gordon II
They liked Ollie Gordon II enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168
Rnd5
Jaylen Reed
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylen Reed well ahead of where he belonged. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick212
Rnd6
Donovan Edwards
They let Donovan Edwards come to them and pounced at slot 212. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick214
Rnd6
Tonka Hemingway
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tonka Hemingway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
