Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall F
ValueF NeedB TradesF FutureF
The Johnson reach set the tone, and the Chargers never recovered: F.

Nobody else had Tez Johnson anywhere near pick No. 43. The Chargers did, by 117 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left interior defensive lineman open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Ollie Gordon II
In the Round 1 slot they get a workhorse for the backfield, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
Good price on Jalen Milroe in No. 36, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tez Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tez Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 67 is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick82 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
No drama and no debate, Quinshon Judkins went about where he belonged in pick 82. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in the 110th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 LT Overton
Value said wait; LT Overton in pick No. 118 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mason Taylor. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy at pick 175 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at the 180th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182 Rnd6 Amari Kight
A straight-up fair deal on Amari Kight at the 182nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in Round 6, Pick 15 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick213 Rnd6 Roydell Williams
They reached a country mile for Roydell Williams at slot 213, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick250 Rnd7 John Campbell Jr.
A big swing on John Campbell Jr. at the 250th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
