Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Chargers, and a B to prove it.

There is reaching, and then there is Mycah Pittman at pick 226. The Chargers jumped the board by 128 and dared it to prove them wrong. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Newton.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In slot 5 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in Round 2, Pick 5 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick69 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at pick No. 69 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at No. 74 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99 Rnd3 Josh Newton
Josh Newton slid further than he should have, and the 99th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tykee Smith at pick 105 is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick142 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
They left a pile of value on the table to take Michael Barrett this early at pick No. 142. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at pick 145 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick183 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A slide stopped in slot 183, with Frank Gore Jr. worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226 Rnd7 Mycah Pittman
A big swing on Mycah Pittman at the 226th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
