The Chargers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 7, Pick 5 on J.J. Weaver a full 92 spots early.

The Washington steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Brock Bowers · TE · rank 6
In pick 11 they get a mismatch in the passing game. A real need, handled.
R1.23 · Pick 23 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 32
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 23rd overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Byron Murphy II · DL · rank 17
Taking Byron Murphy II in No. 37 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
Nice patience on Payton Wilson, who had no business lasting to pick No. 69. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · MarShawn Lloyd · RB · rank 97
MarShawn Lloyd at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 96
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Brenden Rice in Round 4, Pick 4. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 89
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dominick Puni at the Round 4 slot. The roster fit checks out.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · AJ Barner · TE · rank 171
Value said wait; AJ Barner in No. 110 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 93
Malik Washington at slot 140 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Sione Vaki · S · rank 158
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Sione Vaki in the 181st overall pick, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · J.J. Weaver · LB-EDGE · rank 317
A wild overpay on J.J. Weaver in Round 7, Pick 5, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · Josh Wallace · CB · rank 250
They did well to land Josh Wallace in the 253rd pick, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
