Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C+
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Chargers.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Chargers spent the 124th overall pick on Sevion Morrison, a name the board had a full 299 spots lower. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

They banked enough surplus on Bassa to cover a lot of smaller sins. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
They jumped the gun on Princely Umanmielen, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick55 Rnd2 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at No. 55 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Derrick Harmon
They robbed the room for Derrick Harmon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Sevion Morrison
Sevion Morrison in the 124th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Hunter Wohler
A real head-scratcher, Hunter Wohler in pick No. 159 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick177 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at slot 177 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick183 Rnd6 John Williams
John Williams in pick No. 183 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick201 Rnd6 Andrew Armstrong
A big swing on Andrew Armstrong at pick 201, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
Circle this one: Jeffrey Bassa at the 215th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick220 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Value said wait; Seth McLaughlin in the 220th overall pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253 Rnd7 Aydan White
They left a pile of value on the table to take Aydan White this early at slot 253. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
