Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
B+
ValueB
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureB+
The Chargers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. The war room fell hard for Kameryn Crawford, and it showed at the Round 3 slot: 45 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.
The Stone pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick48
Rnd2
David Stone
Taking David Stone in slot 48 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick60
Rnd2
A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at the 60th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82
Rnd3
Samson Okunlola
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Samson Okunlola at pick No. 82. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick86
Rnd3
Faletau Satuala
Faletau Satuala at the 86th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87
Rnd3
Bear Alexander
Nothing to complain about; Bear Alexander went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88
Rnd3
Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper at No. 88 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick91
Rnd3
Jayden Maiava
They paid a round early for Jayden Maiava in No. 91, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick100
Rnd3
Kameryn Crawford
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kameryn Crawford. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106
Rnd4
Devin McCuin
The board had cheaper options than Devin McCuin at the 106th pick, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114
Rnd4
Brandon Inniss
They liked Brandon Inniss enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123
Rnd4
J'Koby Williams
J'Koby Williams in Round 4, Pick 23 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126
Rnd4
Ty Benefield
No edge and no loss on Ty Benefield in slot 126; it is a wash and a sensible one. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick136
Rnd4
Mateen Ibirogba
A straight-up fair deal on Mateen Ibirogba at pick 136, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137
Rnd4
Walker Lyons
Walker Lyons at the 137th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick165
Rnd5
Drew Bobo
Drew Bobo slid further than he should have, and pick No. 165 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick179
Rnd5
Payton Pierce
They took Payton Pierce at par in slot 179, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick201
Rnd6
Christian Alliegro
No drama and no debate, Christian Alliegro went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 22. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick202
Rnd6
Braylan Shelby
A big swing on Braylan Shelby at No. 202, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick227
Rnd7
Jay'Vion Cole
They read the board right and Jay'Vion Cole was the payoff at the 227th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick243
Rnd7
Addison Nichols
Addison Nichols at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick244
Rnd7
D'Antre Robinson
D'Antre Robinson in pick 244 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
