Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers robbed the room for Sanker. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jonas Sanker at pick 256 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Roberts has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 22 they get a load in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Omarr Norman-Lott
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Omarr Norman-Lott. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick125 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
They left a pile of value on the table to take Elijah Roberts this early at pick 125. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick158 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
Taking Terrance Ferguson in slot 158 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick181 Rnd6 Dillon Gabriel
You do not let a quarterback like Dillon Gabriel reach pick No. 181 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick199 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
Circle this one: RJ Harvey at Round 6, Pick 23 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick209 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in the 209th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick214 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at pick 214 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
They will replay Jonas Sanker at No. 256 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
