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

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Mycah Pittman at pick 223 is 130 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The DeJean steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at pick No. 37 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They paid a round early for Roman Wilson in No. 69, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum in slot 74 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick96 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the 96th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick106 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in Round 4, Pick 6 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick109 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jaylen Harrell
They talked themselves into Jaylen Harrell at the 139th pick, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick142 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in No. 142 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick152 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Braiden McGregor. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick183 Rnd6 AJ Barner
They liked AJ Barner enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 8. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Mycah Pittman
Mycah Pittman at slot 223 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
