Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
B+
ValueA+
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureC+
The Chargers robbed the room for Mensah. Final grade: B+. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Darian Mensah got past him. The Chargers do not have to explain a thing at the Round 7 slot.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The veteran additions, Justin Jefferson chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick56
Rnd2
Carter Smith
Taking Carter Smith in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69
Rnd3
Cayden Green
Cayden Green in pick No. 69 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Duce Robinson
They will replay Duce Robinson at the 75th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81
Rnd3
Chris Cole
Chris Cole in slot 81 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick86
Rnd3
Justin Scott
Somehow Justin Scott was still sitting there in pick 86, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87
Rnd3
Dashawn Spears
A safety of that caliber at No. 87 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88
Rnd3
John Henry Daley
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, John Henry Daley in the 88th overall pick, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92
Rnd3
A'Mauri Washington
The board fumbled A'Mauri Washington all the way to Round 3, Pick 28, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106
Rnd4
Teitum Tuioti
Teitum Tuioti at No. 106 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick108
Rnd4
Trevor Goosby
They robbed the room for Trevor Goosby here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick121
Rnd4
Brice Pollock
Brice Pollock in the 121st pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123
Rnd4
KJ Duff
Steal is underselling it; KJ Duff at pick 123 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jamari Johnson
You do not let a tight end like Jamari Johnson reach Round 4, Pick 24 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jayden Maiava
Circle this one: Jayden Maiava at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick128
Rnd4
Kade Pieper
They barely believed it either: Kade Pieper still on the board at slot 128. It fills a real need, too.
Pick129
Rnd4
Princewill Umanmielen
Princewill Umanmielen at the 129th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132
Rnd4
Trevor Lauck
Trevor Lauck at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jadan Baugh
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Jadan Baugh in pick 133, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick136
Rnd4
Wyatt Young
Wyatt Young in slot 136 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138
Rnd4
Rasheem Biles
Circle this one: Rasheem Biles at the 138th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick152
Rnd5
Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb in Round 5, Pick 14 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick156
Rnd5
Kelley Jones
Kelley Jones at No. 156 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick157
Rnd5
Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander in the 157th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160
Rnd5
Jyaire Hill
They will replay Jyaire Hill at pick No. 160 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick162
Rnd5
Austin Siereveld
Austin Siereveld at pick No. 162 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick163
Rnd5
Dante Moore
Dante Moore at slot 163 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick164
Rnd5
Solomon Tuliaupupu
Steal is underselling it; Solomon Tuliaupupu at No. 164 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172
Rnd5
Will Heldt
They robbed the room for Will Heldt here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick184
Rnd6
Luke Montgomery
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 184th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick190
Rnd6
Evan Tengesdahl
Taking Evan Tengesdahl in pick 190 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick191
Rnd6
Kewan Lacy
You do not let a running back like Kewan Lacy reach Round 6, Pick 12 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick192
Rnd6
Ahmad Moten Sr.
The board fumbled Ahmad Moten Sr. all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick199
Rnd6
Devin McCuin
Somehow Devin McCuin was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 20, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick202
Rnd6
LJ Martin
They barely believed it either: LJ Martin still on the board at pick 202. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick216
Rnd6
Walker Lyons
Somehow Walker Lyons was still sitting there in pick No. 216, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick224
Rnd7
Anthony Smith
Anthony Smith in the 224th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Raylen Wilson in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick230
Rnd7
Peter Clarke
You do not let a tight end like Peter Clarke reach No. 230 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232
Rnd7
Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu in the 232nd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick233
Rnd7
Cooper Barkate
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 233 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick234
Rnd7
Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson at slot 234 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236
Rnd7
Elijah Paige
Elijah Paige at pick 236 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237
Rnd7
Mateen Ibirogba
The board fumbled Mateen Ibirogba all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239
Rnd7
Ty Benefield
They barely believed it either: Ty Benefield still on the board at the 239th overall pick. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick240
Rnd7
John Curry
They will replay John Curry at Round 7, Pick 24 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241
Rnd7
Drew Bobo
Drew Bobo at pick No. 241 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243
Rnd7
Raleek Brown
Taking Raleek Brown in No. 243 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244
Rnd7
Omarion Miller
Steal is underselling it; Omarion Miller at the 244th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245
Rnd7
Benjamin Brahmer
They robbed the room for Benjamin Brahmer here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250
Rnd7
Ezra Christensen
Circle this one: Ezra Christensen at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick253
Rnd7
Jaleel Johnson
Jaleel Johnson in pick 253 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick254
Rnd7
Christian Alliegro
You do not let a linebacker like Christian Alliegro reach Round 7, Pick 38 and blink. They did not. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick256
Rnd7
Corey Myrick
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 256 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
