Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Chargers.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Chargers spent the 86th pick on Ashton Hampton, a name most had 27 spots down the list. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 John Henry Daley
John Henry Daley at the 28th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 A'Mauri Washington
Circle this one: A'Mauri Washington at Round 2, Pick 23 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
A conviction pick on Kade Pieper at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Ashton Hampton
They reached into another round for Ashton Hampton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123 Rnd4 Earl Little Jr.
You do not let a safety like Earl Little Jr. reach the 123rd pick and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick165 Rnd5 Eugene Wilson III
A reach for Eugene Wilson III in No. 165; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Christian Alliegro
Christian Alliegro in No. 202 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
