Winnnnnn DRAFTING FOR THEChargers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
B-
ValueC-
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Chargers. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Tyler Batty, 63 picks early at pick No. 181.
That Winston Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Bradyn Swinson
In No. 22 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
A straight-up fair deal on Alfred Collins at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86
Rnd3
Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at slot 86 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at pick 125 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick158
Rnd5
Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at the 158th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick181
Rnd6
Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at pick No. 181 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick199
Rnd6
Clay Webb
Clay Webb in pick 199 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209
Rnd6
Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. is a better player than slot 209 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick214
Rnd6
Howard Cross III
The board had cheaper options than Howard Cross III at pick No. 214, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256
Rnd7
Dayon Hayes
Dayon Hayes at the 256th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
