Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The war room fell hard for Collin Oliver, and it showed at the 253rd overall pick: 69 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Stutsman falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 T.J. Sanders
In the 22nd overall pick they get a load in the middle, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
By-the-book stuff, Bradyn Swinson at slot 55 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
No edge and no loss on Gunnar Helm in pick 86; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick124 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Danny Stutsman in pick No. 124, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick159 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
The board had Bhayshul Tuten higher than No. 159, and the running back fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick177 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
They did well to land Quincy Riley in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
They let Jack Nelson come to them and pounced at slot 183. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Cam Horsley
A reach for Cam Horsley in pick 201; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215 Rnd6 Akili Arnold
Akili Arnold is a better player than the Round 6 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick220 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Theo Wease Jr.. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick253 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
A real head-scratcher, Collin Oliver in the 253rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
