Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
A-
ValueA+
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chargers for Lauck: A-. The rest of the league will want that one back. Trevor Lauck tumbling to the Chargers in pick No. 256 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Chargers paired the rookies with proven help, Justin Jefferson leading the way.
A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.
Pick Analysis
Pick55
Rnd2
Carter Smith
Carter Smith at Round 2, Pick 23 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75
Rnd3
Cayden Green
They barely believed it either: Cayden Green still on the board at the Round 3 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick79
Rnd3
Justin Scott
Circle this one: Justin Scott at pick 79 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82
Rnd3
Duce Robinson
Taking Duce Robinson in slot 82 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper in the 87th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115
Rnd4
Brice Pollock
The board fumbled Brice Pollock all the way to pick No. 115, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jamari Johnson
Jamari Johnson in the 117th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123
Rnd4
Teitum Tuioti
Teitum Tuioti in No. 123 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125
Rnd4
A'Mauri Washington
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, A'Mauri Washington in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130
Rnd4
Rasheem Biles
Somehow Rasheem Biles was still sitting there in slot 130, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick134
Rnd4
Jayden Maiava
Jayden Maiava in the 134th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick174
Rnd5
Trevor Goosby
They will replay Trevor Goosby at the 174th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick175
Rnd5
Wyatt Young
Wyatt Young at No. 175 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick178
Rnd5
Kewan Lacy
They robbed the room for Kewan Lacy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick202
Rnd6
Austin Siereveld
You do not let an offensive lineman like Austin Siereveld reach pick No. 202 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick207
Rnd6
Keon Sabb
A safety of that caliber at pick 207 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick218
Rnd7
Walker Lyons
Walker Lyons at slot 218 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243
Rnd7
Ahmad Moten Sr.
Steal is underselling it; Ahmad Moten Sr. at No. 243 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249
Rnd7
Kelley Jones
They robbed the room for Kelley Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick250
Rnd7
Luke Montgomery
Luke Montgomery in Round 7, Pick 34 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252
Rnd7
Will Heldt
You do not let an edge rusher like Will Heldt reach the 252nd overall pick and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253
Rnd7
LJ Martin
Circle this one: LJ Martin at the 253rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254
Rnd7
Devin McCuin
They barely believed it either: Devin McCuin still on the board at pick No. 254. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256
Rnd7
Trevor Lauck
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Trevor Lauck in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick257
Rnd7
Iapani Laloulu
Steal is underselling it; Iapani Laloulu at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
