Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Bassa should have been long gone. The Chargers pounced, and earned a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jeffrey Bassa got past him. The Chargers do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 218.

Reaching for Handy left real value on the table behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 22 they get a security blanket over the middle, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson at the 55th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick 86 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in slot 123 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick157 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Taking Lathan Ransom in Round 5, Pick 20 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick179 Rnd6 Ja'Corey Brooks
A real head-scratcher, Ja'Corey Brooks in the 179th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jacob Parrish
They paid sticker price for Jacob Parrish in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick208 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick213 Rnd6 Stone Handy
Value said wait; Stone Handy in pick 213 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jeffrey Bassa
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jeffrey Bassa in Round 7, Pick 2, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Somehow Jaylen Reed was still sitting there in pick No. 253, and they pounced on premier safety value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
