Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
D+
ValueA+
NeedC+
TradesF
FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chargers for Hoover: D+. The rest of the league will want that one back. Josh Hoover tumbling to the Chargers in pick 243 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Chargers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Matayo Uiagalelei
In slot 18 they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick22
Rnd1
Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
In pick 22 they get a green-dot type in the middle, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick34
Rnd2
Carter Smith
Somehow Carter Smith was still sitting there in No. 34, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick36
Rnd2
KJ Bolden
Circle this one: KJ Bolden at the 36th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick39
Rnd2
Cayden Green
They will replay Cayden Green at pick No. 39 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick43
Rnd2
Dante Moore
Dante Moore in Round 2, Pick 11 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick55
Rnd2
Will Echoles
Will Echoles at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65
Rnd3
Teitum Tuioti
Taking Teitum Tuioti in the 65th pick is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66
Rnd3
Duce Robinson
Duce Robinson at the 66th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick70
Rnd3
Dashawn Spears
Dashawn Spears at slot 70 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Trevor Goosby
The board fumbled Trevor Goosby all the way to pick 76, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick79
Rnd3
Brice Pollock
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 79 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick81
Rnd3
PJ Williams
Steal is underselling it; PJ Williams at Round 3, Pick 17 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick82
Rnd3
Jamari Johnson
Jamari Johnson in No. 82 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick85
Rnd3
KJ Duff
They barely believed it either: KJ Duff still on the board at the Round 3 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86
Rnd3
Justin Scott
Justin Scott in the 86th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87
Rnd3
Charlie Becker
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Charlie Becker in Round 3, Pick 23, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88
Rnd3
A'Mauri Washington
They robbed the room for A'Mauri Washington here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92
Rnd3
Rasheem Biles
You do not let a linebacker like Rasheem Biles reach No. 92 and blink. They did not. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick97
Rnd3
Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb in the 97th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick98
Rnd3
Princewill Umanmielen
Somehow Princewill Umanmielen was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99
Rnd3
Drew Mestemaker
Drew Mestemaker in the 99th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick100
Rnd3
Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
You do not let an edge rusher like Kenyatta Jackson Jr. reach pick No. 100 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102
Rnd4
Jadan Baugh
They barely believed it either: Jadan Baugh still on the board at slot 102. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jayden Maiava
Good price on Jayden Maiava in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110
Rnd4
Wyatt Young
Steal is underselling it; Wyatt Young at the 110th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111
Rnd4
Kade Pieper
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Kade Pieper in No. 111, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113
Rnd4
Trevor Lauck
Trevor Lauck at pick 113 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115
Rnd4
Bray Hubbard
They will replay Bray Hubbard at pick No. 115 for years; that is how good the value is. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jyaire Hill
Circle this one: Jyaire Hill at slot 117 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick122
Rnd4
Kewan Lacy
Kewan Lacy at Round 4, Pick 22 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123
Rnd4
John Henry Daley
The board fumbled John Henry Daley all the way to the 123rd pick, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124
Rnd4
Kelley Jones
They robbed the room for Kelley Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127
Rnd4
Zach Lutmer
Nice patience on Zach Lutmer, who had no business lasting to the 127th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133
Rnd4
Austin Siereveld
Austin Siereveld at slot 133 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick134
Rnd4
Bear Alexander
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick 134 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135
Rnd4
Ahmad Moten Sr.
Taking Ahmad Moten Sr. in Round 4, Pick 35 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.
Pick138
Rnd4
Luke Montgomery
Luke Montgomery in No. 138 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139
Rnd5
Peter Clarke
They barely believed it either: Peter Clarke still on the board at the 139th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick143
Rnd5
Sammy Brown
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick144
Rnd5
Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor in Round 5, Pick 6 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick147
Rnd5
Devin McCuin
Circle this one: Devin McCuin at No. 147 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152
Rnd5
Mateen Ibirogba
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Mateen Ibirogba at the 152nd pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick159
Rnd5
LJ Martin
LJ Martin at the 159th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160
Rnd5
Walker Lyons
Walker Lyons in slot 160 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171
Rnd5
Ashton Hampton
Ashton Hampton in pick 171 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172
Rnd5
Will Heldt
They will replay Will Heldt at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175
Rnd5
Evan Tengesdahl
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Evan Tengesdahl in pick No. 175, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick178
Rnd5
Elijah Paige
Taking Elijah Paige in the 178th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick183
Rnd6
Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at Round 6, Pick 4 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick187
Rnd6
Iapani Laloulu
The board fumbled Iapani Laloulu all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick190
Rnd6
Solomon Tuliaupupu
You do not let an edge rusher like Solomon Tuliaupupu reach pick No. 190 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick191
Rnd6
Anthony Smith
Anthony Smith at No. 191 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick192
Rnd6
Corey Myrick
Somehow Corey Myrick was still sitting there in slot 192, and they pounced on premier safety value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick193
Rnd6
John Curry
They robbed the room for John Curry here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick202
Rnd6
Xavier Lucas

Pick204
Rnd6
Earl Little Jr.
Earl Little Jr. at slot 204 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick206
Rnd6
Raleek Brown

Pick210
Rnd6

Pick219

Pick224
Rnd7
Greg Johnson

Pick229
Rnd7

Pick233
Rnd7
