Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall D-
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Chargers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Chargers took Mycah Pittman at Round 5, Pick 29, roughly 189 spots before his name belonged. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
No edge and no loss on Brock Bowers in the 5th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid up for Jackson Powers-Johnson at Round 2, Pick 5 when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
A wild overpay on Blake Fisher in pick 69, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick74 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at pick No. 74 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in slot 99 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick105 Rnd4 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A real head-scratcher, Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the 105th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at pick No. 142 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick145 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
They left a pile of value on the table to take Michael Barrett this early at No. 145. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick165 Rnd5 Mycah Pittman
They reached into another round for Mycah Pittman, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick183 Rnd6 Blake Watson
Blake Watson in slot 183 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick226 Rnd7 JT Daniels
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for JT Daniels. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
