Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 140: the Chargers steal Fisher and grade out a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Chargers watched Blake Fisher slide 22 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Guerendo pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on interior defensive lineman, 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. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter in pick 37 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
They read the board right and Kingsley Suamataia was the payoff at pick No. 69. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick105 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A conviction pick on Cedric Gray at the 105th pick that the board grades a round light. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick110 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
A big swing on Isaac Guerendo at the 110th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick140 Rnd5 Blake Fisher
Taking Blake Fisher in the Round 5 slot 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.
Pick181 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
They paid sticker price for Tip Reiman in No. 181, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in slot 225 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick253 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
A tidy bit of business in the 253rd pick, where Michael Barrett graded well above the range. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
