Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
B+
ValueB
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureA-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chargers for Stone: B+. The Chargers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
On value alone, Stone makes the weekend a net positive. They are betting Robinson proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
The Chargers paired the rookies with proven help, Justin Jefferson leading the way.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick38
Rnd2
David Stone
Somehow David Stone was still sitting there in the 38th overall pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick59
Rnd2
A'Mauri Washington
They barely believed it either: A'Mauri Washington still on the board at slot 59. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick61
Rnd2
Samson Okunlola
By-the-book stuff, Samson Okunlola at pick 61 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86
Rnd3
Kade Pieper
They paid sticker price for Kade Pieper in No. 86, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick93
Rnd3
Jayden Maiava
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jayden Maiava. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106
Rnd4
Devin McCuin
Devin McCuin in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123
Rnd4
Brandon Inniss
Brandon Inniss at Round 4, Pick 23 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jordan Marshall
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Marshall at the 125th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jaylen McClain
Jaylen McClain in pick 127 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick128
Rnd4
Justin Evans
A reasonable price with a little left over, Justin Evans in the 128th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130
Rnd4
Ty Benefield
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ty Benefield at slot 130 is the proof. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick132
Rnd4
Xavier Lucas
Xavier Lucas in No. 132 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick133
Rnd4
Mateen Ibirogba
Mateen Ibirogba at pick No. 133 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick136
Rnd4
Walker Lyons
Walker Lyons in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick138
Rnd4
Elijah Paige
A reach on Elijah Paige in pick 138; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick155
Rnd5
Drew Bobo
The board had Drew Bobo higher than slot 155, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick157
Rnd5
Coen Echols
No drama and no debate, Coen Echols went about where he belonged in the 157th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick158
Rnd5
Jayden Bellamy
Jayden Bellamy in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick198
Rnd6
Christian Alliegro
No edge and no loss on Christian Alliegro in pick No. 198; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick212
Rnd6
La'khi Roland
Good price on La'khi Roland in No. 212, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227
Rnd7
D'Antre Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for D'Antre Robinson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick230
Rnd7
Antonio Kite
A quiet steal in the 230th pick: Antonio Kite for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick235
Rnd7
Addison Nichols
They did well to land Addison Nichols in pick 235, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243
Rnd7
Stephiylan Green
Stephiylan Green at the 243rd overall pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick244
Rnd7
Austin Romaine
They read the board right and Austin Romaine was the payoff at slot 244. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick253
Rnd7
Evan Stewart
They took Evan Stewart at par in pick No. 253, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick256
Rnd7
DJ Vonnahme
A straight-up fair deal on DJ Vonnahme at No. 256, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
