Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA-
The Chargers let Devonshire fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

When a board-topper like M.J. Devonshire slides to the Round 7 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Chargers did not. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Nugent reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

In the end it comes back to Rome Odunze, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 14 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Olumuyiwa Fashanu at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter in Round 2, Pick 6 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick45 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick 45 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick69 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Taking Payton Wilson in the 69th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick104 Rnd4 Ray Davis
A straight-up fair deal on Ray Davis at slot 104, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick139 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in pick No. 139 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick180 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in the 180th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick221 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
No edge and no loss on Tyler Owens in the 221st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick225 Rnd7 M.J. Devonshire
Somehow M.J. Devonshire was still sitting there in slot 225, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick253 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They barely believed it either: Frank Gore Jr. still on the board at the 253rd pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
