Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
The Chargers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Nobody had Mycah Pittman this high, and it is not close. The Chargers reached 128 spots to get him at pick 226. The bottom line is a respectable B.

However the rest shakes out, Alt at that price is a win they earned. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 5 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Joe Alt
Taking Joe Alt in the 37th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
By-the-book stuff, Brenden Rice at Round 3, Pick 5 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Luke McCaffrey
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Luke McCaffrey. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick96 Rnd3 Frank Gore Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Frank Gore Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
They took Leonard Taylor III at par in slot 105, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at pick No. 142 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They talked themselves into Joe Milton III at the 145th pick, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick155 Rnd5 Chad Lindberg
Value said wait; Chad Lindberg in Round 5, Pick 19 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at No. 183 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick226 Rnd7 Mycah Pittman
Mycah Pittman at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
