Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
A-
ValueA+
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureB+
Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the Chargers steal Siereveld and grade out a A-. You build a draft on nights like this. Austin Siereveld had no business being available in slot 218, and the Chargers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The veteran additions, Justin Jefferson chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In the end it comes back to Carter Smith, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick55
Rnd2
Carter Smith
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 55 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick63
Rnd2
Cayden Green
Cayden Green at slot 63 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick79
Rnd3
Duce Robinson
They robbed the room for Duce Robinson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86
Rnd3
Chris Cole
They barely believed it either: Chris Cole still on the board at the 86th pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick95
Rnd3
Teitum Tuioti
Teitum Tuioti in the 95th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97
Rnd3
Justin Scott
The board fumbled Justin Scott all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121
Rnd4
Brice Pollock
Steal is underselling it; Brice Pollock at pick No. 121 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123
Rnd4
Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby at No. 123 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick135
Rnd4
Kade Pieper
You do not let an offensive lineman like Kade Pieper reach slot 135 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161
Rnd5
Jamari Johnson
Jamari Johnson in the 161st pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick194
Rnd6
A'Mauri Washington
Somehow A'Mauri Washington was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 15, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick199
Rnd6
Will Heldt
Will Heldt in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick200
Rnd6
LJ Martin
Taking LJ Martin in No. 200 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202
Rnd6
Bear Alexander
They will replay Bear Alexander at the 202nd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204
Rnd6
Rasheem Biles
Rasheem Biles at pick 204 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick205
Rnd6
Wyatt Young
Circle this one: Wyatt Young at pick No. 205 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206
Rnd6
Trevor Lauck
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Trevor Lauck in the 206th overall pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick207
Rnd6
Keon Sabb
You do not let a safety like Keon Sabb reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick208
Rnd6
Ahmad Moten Sr.
Ahmad Moten Sr. in the 208th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick209
Rnd6
Peter Clarke
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Peter Clarke in pick 209, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216
Rnd6
Devin McCuin
The board fumbled Devin McCuin all the way to Round 6, Pick 37, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick218
Rnd7
Austin Siereveld
Steal is underselling it; Austin Siereveld at pick No. 218 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232
Rnd7
Anthony Smith
Somehow Anthony Smith was still sitting there in slot 232, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick234
Rnd7
Kelley Jones
Kelley Jones at No. 234 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236
Rnd7
Luke Montgomery
Taking Luke Montgomery in pick No. 236 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240
Rnd7
Jyaire Hill
They robbed the room for Jyaire Hill here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick241
Rnd7
Corey Myrick
Corey Myrick at pick 241 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick242
Rnd7
Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu at Round 7, Pick 26 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick243
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson in the 243rd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick244
Rnd7
Evan Tengesdahl
They will replay Evan Tengesdahl at No. 244 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245
Rnd7
Omarion Miller
They barely believed it either: Omarion Miller still on the board at slot 245. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246
Rnd7
John Curry
John Curry in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247
Rnd7
Elijah Paige
Circle this one: Elijah Paige at the 247th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248
Rnd7
Darian Mensah
A quarterback of that caliber at pick 248 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249
Rnd7
Ezra Christensen
They robbed the room for Ezra Christensen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick250
Rnd7
Whit Weeks
Whit Weeks in the 250th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick251
Rnd7
Walker Lyons
They will replay Walker Lyons at pick No. 251 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick252
Rnd7
Cooper Barkate
The board fumbled Cooper Barkate all the way to No. 252, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick253
Rnd7
Adon Shuler
Adon Shuler at slot 253 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick254
Rnd7
Christian Alliegro
Christian Alliegro at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick255
Rnd7
Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson in pick No. 255 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick256
Rnd7
Benjamin Brahmer
Somehow Benjamin Brahmer was still sitting there in slot 256, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick257
Rnd7
Ty Benefield
Taking Ty Benefield in the 257th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
