Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chargers a B.

The Chargers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Hayden Conner at Round 6, Pick 38 regardless, 53 picks early. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Harmon. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a seam-stretching tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Circle this one: Derrick Harmon at Round 2, Pick 25 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at slot 86 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones at No. 111 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
This one needs a full-page explanation: Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the 128th pick, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
A tidy bit of business in pick 158, where Pat Bryant graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in pick 181 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick199 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
No edge and no loss on Tahj Brooks in pick No. 199; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
A straight-up fair deal on Jay Higgins at Round 6, Pick 29, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick209 Rnd6 Fadil Diggs
Fadil Diggs in No. 209 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick214 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
They talked themselves into Hayden Conner at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick256 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Fair-plus on Teddye Buchanan, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
