Draft Grade — Chargers

FutureB+
The Chargers won the night they stopped Restrepo from sliding. Grade: D+. The Chargers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Xavier Restrepo, the No. 22 name on the board, in the 200th pick.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In the 30th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
They barely believed it either: Walter Nolen still on the board at Round 2, Pick 24. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick61
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Good price on Tyler Warren in pick 61, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick71
Rnd3
Ashton Gillotte
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ashton Gillotte. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88
Rnd3
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at slot 88 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick97
Rnd3
Derrick Harmon
The board fumbled Derrick Harmon all the way to the 97th pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111
Rnd4
Tre Harris
Tre Harris in No. 111 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118
Rnd4
Kyle Kennard
Somehow Kyle Kennard was still sitting there in slot 118, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125
Rnd4
Cam Ward
They will replay Cam Ward at pick No. 125 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130
Rnd4
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in No. 130 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick140
Rnd5
Parker Brailsford
Fair-plus on Parker Brailsford, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147
Rnd5
Danny Stutsman
They robbed the room for Danny Stutsman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick160
Rnd5
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at the 160th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick162
Rnd5
Bradyn Swinson
Taking Bradyn Swinson in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172
Rnd5
T.J. Sanders
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like T.J. Sanders reach pick 172 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick175
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Smael Mondon Jr. at the 175th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick185
Rnd6
Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at Round 6, Pick 10 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick200
Rnd6
Xavier Restrepo
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Xavier Restrepo in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick213
Rnd6
Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in pick 213 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219
Rnd7
Jake Majors
Circle this one: Jake Majors at the 219th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251
Rnd7
Brant Kuithe
A tight end of that caliber at slot 251 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
