Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chargers: B.

Nobody had J.J. Weaver this high, and it is not close. The Chargers reached 127 spots to get him at pick No. 222. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

That Perkins Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Tre Harris
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in pick 41 with a little surplus value in Harold Fannin Jr.. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 84th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick120 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in No. 120 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick156 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in the 156th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Steal is underselling it; Jay Higgins at slot 178 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick195 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green in slot 195 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208 Rnd6 Harold Perkins Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Harold Perkins Jr. in the 208th pick, plain and simple. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick213 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in the 213th overall pick, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick222 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
A big swing on J.J. Weaver at pick 222, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick252 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at Round 7, Pick 38 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
