Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers won the night they stopped Pearsall from sliding. Grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Chargers watched Ricky Pearsall slide 27 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting Holker proves the room right and everyone else wrong. 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.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Laiatu Latu. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter in No. 38 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at the 70th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick106 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
No drama and no debate, Roman Wilson went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 6. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith slipping to pick No. 143 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick184 Rnd6 Dallin Holker
They liked Dallin Holker enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 184. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick227 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in pick 227 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
