Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
B
ValueA+
NeedB
TradesC-
FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chargers for Siereveld: B. You could see the war room lean forward. Austin Siereveld at slot 243 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.
They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Matayo Uiagalelei
They barely believed it either: Matayo Uiagalelei still on the board at the 31st overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick55
Rnd2
Carter Smith
Circle this one: Carter Smith at Round 2, Pick 23 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75
Rnd3
Cayden Green
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Cayden Green in the 75th pick, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86
Rnd3
Duce Robinson
Steal is underselling it; Duce Robinson at No. 86 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92
Rnd3
Teitum Tuioti
Somehow Teitum Tuioti was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101
Rnd4
Kade Pieper
Nice patience on Kade Pieper, who had no business lasting to pick 101. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104
Rnd4
Justin Scott
They will replay Justin Scott at pick No. 104 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108
Rnd4
Jayden Maiava
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jayden Maiava in slot 108. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115
Rnd4
Brice Pollock
Brice Pollock at the 115th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jamari Johnson
You do not let a tight end like Jamari Johnson reach pick No. 123 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick127
Rnd4
Trevor Goosby
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 27 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick152
Rnd5
A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at No. 152 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154
Rnd5
Rasheem Biles
Rasheem Biles in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick160
Rnd5
Wyatt Young
Wyatt Young in pick 160 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick202
Rnd6
Bear Alexander
Taking Bear Alexander in the 202nd overall pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick217
Rnd7
Kelley Jones
Kelley Jones at slot 217 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.
Pick230
Rnd7
Keon Sabb
They robbed the room for Keon Sabb here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick232
Rnd7
Trevor Lauck
The board fumbled Trevor Lauck all the way to the 232nd pick, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick236
Rnd7
Peter Clarke
Peter Clarke in pick 236 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243
Rnd7
Austin Siereveld
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Austin Siereveld in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick244
Rnd7
Luke Montgomery
They will replay Luke Montgomery at the 244th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick249
Rnd7
Ahmad Moten Sr.
They barely believed it either: Ahmad Moten Sr. still on the board at Round 7, Pick 33. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick250
Rnd7
Jyaire Hill
Jyaire Hill at No. 250 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick252
Rnd7
LJ Martin
You do not let a running back like LJ Martin reach pick No. 252 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick253
Rnd7
Will Heldt
Somehow Will Heldt was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 37, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick254
Rnd7
Christian Alliegro
The board fumbled Christian Alliegro all the way to pick 254, and they scooped it up. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick255
Rnd7
Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu in the 255th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick256
Rnd7
Walker Lyons
They robbed the room for Walker Lyons here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick257
Rnd7
Devin McCuin
Devin McCuin at slot 257 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
