Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chargers: B.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Chargers reached some 73 spots for J.J. Weaver, and value like that does not grow back.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. On value alone, Wilson makes the weekend a net positive.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In No. 5 they get a mismatch in the passing game. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at slot 37 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
The board had Jeremiah Trotter Jr. higher than the Round 3 slot, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick74 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
They let Javon Bullard come to them and pounced at pick 74. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick96 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Roman Wilson at the 96th pick is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at Round 4, Pick 5 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick142 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
They reached into another round for LaDarius Henderson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Cam Hart is a better player than slot 145 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick155 Rnd5 J.J. Weaver
A real head-scratcher, J.J. Weaver in pick No. 155 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick183 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the Round 6 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick226 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson at pick 226 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
