Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Chargers answered their biggest question with Williams. Grade: D+.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Chargers did exactly that with Michael Barrett in slot 181.

The Harden value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

They have staked the next five years on Caleb Williams, which is the only story that really matters here. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
No drama and no debate, Caleb Williams went about where he belonged in slot 1. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick5 Rnd1 Joe Alt
By-the-book stuff, Joe Alt at the 5th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 9 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at pick No. 53 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick69 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
They will replay Malachi Corley at pick 69 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the 75th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick83 Rnd3 Austin Booker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Austin Booker in Round 3, Pick 19. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips at slot 99 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick105 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
They paid sticker price for Zak Zinter in pick No. 105, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Hunter Nourzad
They paid up for Hunter Nourzad at No. 110 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley at the 120th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and DeWayne Carter at pick 122 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
A straight-up fair deal on Braiden McGregor at pick No. 171, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A wild overpay on Michael Barrett in pick 181, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick225 Rnd7 Isaiah Davis
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Isaiah Davis in the 225th overall pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253 Rnd7 Myles Harden
The board fumbled Myles Harden all the way to slot 253, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
