Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Chargers: B-.

The tape said wait; the Chargers did not. Ahmed Hassanein went at the Round 4 slot, a good 112 picks before the board was ready. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Smith pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In pick No. 22 they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
By-the-book stuff, Alfred Collins at Round 2, Pick 23 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jah Joyner
Jah Joyner at the 86th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ahmed Hassanein
Ahmed Hassanein in slot 125 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick158 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
They talked themselves into Tyler Batty at the 158th pick, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181 Rnd6 Davin Vann
Davin Vann at No. 181 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick199 Rnd6 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick209 Rnd6 CJ Dippre
A big swing on CJ Dippre at Round 6, Pick 33, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick214 Rnd6 Dayon Hayes
Dayon Hayes in the 214th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
The board fumbled Jamon Dumas-Johnson all the way to pick 256, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
