Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Chargers spent real capital to be 90 picks early on Ethan Downs, and the board is going to hold them to it.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. Getting Wells Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Deone Walker
A reach for Deone Walker in the 55th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They took Jordan Burch at par in pick 86, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
A quiet steal in the 124th pick: Brashard Smith for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
No drama and no debate, Jake Briningstool went about where he belonged in No. 159. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick177 Rnd5 Ethan Downs
Ethan Downs at slot 177 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183 Rnd6 Akili Arnold
This one needs a full-page explanation: Akili Arnold in slot 183, miles early. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick201 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
A slide stopped in No. 201, with Antwane Wells Jr. worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick215 Rnd6 Zeek Biggers
Zeek Biggers in the 215th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220 Rnd7 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III in the Round 7 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell in pick 253 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
