Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
D
ValueA
NeedC
TradesF
FutureA
The Chargers let Leavitt fall and pounced. Final grade: D. When a board-topper like Sam Leavitt slides to the 256th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Chargers did not.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Chargers paired the rookies with proven help, Puka Nacua leading the way. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Matayo Uiagalelei
Matayo Uiagalelei is a better player than pick 21 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick56
Rnd2
Carter Smith
They will replay Carter Smith at pick No. 56 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick61
Rnd2
Will Echoles
Somehow Will Echoles was still sitting there in slot 61, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick63
Rnd2
Cayden Green
Cayden Green at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick73
Rnd3
Duce Robinson
Steal is underselling it; Duce Robinson at No. 73 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75
Rnd3
Teitum Tuioti
They barely believed it either: Teitum Tuioti still on the board at the 75th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79
Rnd3
Brice Pollock
Taking Brice Pollock in the 79th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick81
Rnd3
Dashawn Spears
The board fumbled Dashawn Spears all the way to Round 3, Pick 17, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick82
Rnd3
KJ Duff
KJ Duff at Round 3, Pick 18 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick83
Rnd3
John Henry Daley
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, John Henry Daley in pick No. 83, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.

Kenyatta Jackson Jr. in No. 84 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85
Rnd3
Dante Moore
A quarterback of that caliber at pick 85 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick86
Rnd3

Pick88
Rnd3
Justin Scott
Circle this one: Justin Scott at the 88th pick is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92
Rnd3
Boubacar Traore
You do not let an edge rusher like Boubacar Traore reach slot 92 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick93
Rnd3

Pick95
Rnd3
A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in pick 95 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97
Rnd3

Jayden Maiava in Round 3, Pick 33 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98
Rnd3

Pick100
Rnd3

Pick106
Rnd4
Bray Hubbard
Bray Hubbard at pick No. 106 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick107
Rnd4

They barely believed it either: Bear Alexander still on the board at No. 107. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108
Rnd4

Rasheem Biles in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick112
Rnd4
Trevor Lauck
Trevor Lauck at slot 112 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114
Rnd4

They robbed the room for Jacarrius Peak here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125

Pick127
Rnd4
Luke Montgomery

Pick128
Rnd4

Pick130
Rnd4
Solomon Tuliaupupu
Solomon Tuliaupupu in slot 130 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.

Pick138
Rnd4
Ty Benefield
Nice patience on Ty Benefield, who had no business lasting to pick 138. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick139
Rnd5
Earl Little Jr.
Earl Little Jr. at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick140
Rnd5

Rnd7
Mario Landino
They read the board right and Mario Landino was the payoff at pick 247. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248
Rnd7
OJ Frederique Jr.
Fair-plus on OJ Frederique Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249
Rnd7
Mark Nabou Jr.
Mark Nabou Jr. at pick 249 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250
Rnd7
Tao Johnson
Taking Tao Johnson in the 250th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick251
Rnd7
Tunmise Adeleye
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tunmise Adeleye in pick No. 251. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick252
Rnd7
LaNorris Sellers
LaNorris Sellers at slot 252 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick253
Rnd7
Desmond Umeozulu
Good price on Desmond Umeozulu in the 253rd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick254
Rnd7
Monroe Mills
Monroe Mills at Round 7, Pick 38 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255
Rnd7
Randon Fontenette
Circle this one: Randon Fontenette at No. 255 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256
Rnd7
Sam Leavitt
Somehow Sam Leavitt was still sitting there in slot 256, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick257
Rnd7
Drake Lindsey
They robbed the room for Drake Lindsey here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
