Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
B+
ValueB
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureB-
The Chargers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Chargers would have aced it. Kameryn Crawford at pick No. 106 is 37 spots clear of where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Stone. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick38
Rnd2
David Stone
David Stone at No. 38 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick55
Rnd2
Charlie Becker
Charlie Becker at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59
Rnd2
Samson Okunlola
Samson Okunlola in pick 59 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick86
Rnd3
Luke Montgomery
They let Luke Montgomery come to them and pounced at pick No. 86. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87
Rnd3
Faletau Satuala
Faletau Satuala at slot 87 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick106
Rnd4
Kameryn Crawford
Kameryn Crawford at the 106th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick107
Rnd4
Jayden Maiava
Jayden Maiava is a better player than pick No. 107 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick108
Rnd4
Kade Pieper
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 8 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123
Rnd4
Mateen Ibirogba
They paid a round early for Mateen Ibirogba in the 123rd overall pick, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145
Rnd5
Jaylen McClain
They will replay Jaylen McClain at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick162
Rnd5
Drew Bobo
Value with a capital V on Drew Bobo in the 162nd pick, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick184
Rnd6
Payton Pierce
They read the board right and Payton Pierce was the payoff at slot 184. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick185
Rnd6
Christian Gray
Christian Gray in No. 185 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick190
Rnd6
Christian Alliegro
Christian Alliegro in pick 190 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick191
Rnd6
Emmanuel Karnley
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Emmanuel Karnley at No. 191 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick232
Rnd7
Addison Nichols
They took Addison Nichols at par in pick No. 232, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233
Rnd7
Nyziah Hunter
Nyziah Hunter in pick 233 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick236
Rnd7
Boo Carter
They robbed the room for Boo Carter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick243
Rnd7
DJ Vonnahme
They paid up for DJ Vonnahme at the 243rd pick when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244
Rnd7
Stephiylan Green
Stephiylan Green at Round 7, Pick 28 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick248
Rnd7
D'Antre Robinson
They paid sticker price for D'Antre Robinson in the 248th overall pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick250
Rnd7
Monroe Mills
By-the-book stuff, Monroe Mills at slot 250 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick254
Rnd7
Kyle Altuner
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kyle Altuner. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick256
Rnd7
DeSean Bishop
No edge and no loss on DeSean Bishop in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick257
Rnd7
OJ Frederique Jr.
Nice patience on OJ Frederique Jr., who had no business lasting to Round 7, Pick 41. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
