Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
D+
ValueA+
NeedC+
TradesF
FutureA+
The Chargers won the night they stopped Mensah from sliding. Grade: D+. The board owed the Chargers one, and it paid up: Darian Mensah, the No. 83 name on the board, sitting there at Round 7, Pick 19 like a gift left on the doorstep. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D+ is the result.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Chargers paired the rookies with proven help, Puka Nacua leading the way.
The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get the heartbeat of the defense, outstanding value to boot.
Pick24
Rnd1
Matayo Uiagalelei
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29
Rnd1
KJ Bolden
In the 29th pick they get an enforcer at safety, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick42
Rnd2
Damon Wilson II
Damon Wilson II in pick 42 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick55
Rnd2
Duce Robinson
Taking Duce Robinson in pick No. 55 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick61
Rnd2
Carter Smith
You do not let an offensive lineman like Carter Smith reach No. 61 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick66
Rnd3
Cayden Green
The board fumbled Cayden Green all the way to slot 66, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75
Rnd3
Will Echoles
Circle this one: Will Echoles at the 75th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick84
Rnd3
Teitum Tuioti
They barely believed it either: Teitum Tuioti still on the board at Round 3, Pick 20. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85
Rnd3
Justin Scott
They robbed the room for Justin Scott here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86
Rnd3
KJ Duff
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, KJ Duff in pick No. 86, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87
Rnd3
Brice Pollock
Brice Pollock in pick 87 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92
Rnd3
Dashawn Spears
Dashawn Spears at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick93
Rnd3
Wyatt Young
They will replay Wyatt Young at No. 93 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95
Rnd3
Jamari Johnson
A tight end of that caliber at slot 95 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick96
Rnd3
Boubacar Traore
Boubacar Traore in the 96th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100
Rnd3
Dante Moore
Steal is underselling it; Dante Moore at No. 100 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106
Rnd4
Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby at pick No. 106 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick108
Rnd4
A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at slot 108 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111
Rnd4
Trevor Lauck
Somehow Trevor Lauck was still sitting there in the 111th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick118
Rnd4
Rasheem Biles
You do not let a linebacker like Rasheem Biles reach pick 118 and blink. They did not. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick119
Rnd4
Kade Pieper
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Kade Pieper in Round 4, Pick 19, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122
Rnd4
Austin Siereveld
They barely believed it either: Austin Siereveld still on the board at the 122nd pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123
Rnd4
Luke Montgomery
Taking Luke Montgomery in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125
Rnd4
Evan Tengesdahl
They robbed the room for Evan Tengesdahl here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127
Rnd4
Princewill Umanmielen
Princewill Umanmielen at pick 127 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128
Rnd4
Keon Sabb
Circle this one: Keon Sabb at Round 4, Pick 28 is a fall that decides a draft. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick130
Rnd4
Bray Hubbard
The board fumbled Bray Hubbard all the way to the 130th pick, and they scooped it up. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jadan Baugh
Jadan Baugh in slot 131 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132
Rnd4
Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander in pick No. 132 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick133
Rnd4
Will Heldt
They will replay Will Heldt at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick136
Rnd4
Sammy Brown
Steal is underselling it; Sammy Brown at the 136th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick137
Rnd4
Kelley Jones
Kelley Jones in Round 4, Pick 37 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138
Rnd4
Solomon Tuliaupupu
Solomon Tuliaupupu at the 138th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139
Rnd5
Kewan Lacy
A running back of that caliber at No. 139 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick141
Rnd5
Jyaire Hill
Somehow Jyaire Hill was still sitting there in the 141st overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148
Rnd5
Peter Clarke
Peter Clarke at pick No. 148 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick149
Rnd5
Nyck Harbor
You do not let a wide receiver like Nyck Harbor reach pick 149 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151
Rnd5
Devin McCuin
Steal is underselling it; Devin McCuin at slot 151 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick156
Rnd5
Walker Lyons
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Walker Lyons at the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick160
Rnd5
Ahmad Moten Sr.
Ahmad Moten Sr. in pick No. 160 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick161
Rnd5
Anthony Smith
Anthony Smith in the 161st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162
Rnd5
Raylen Wilson
They barely believed it either: Raylen Wilson still on the board at No. 162. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick164
Rnd5
Jayden Maiava
Taking Jayden Maiava in the 164th pick is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick167
Rnd5
LJ Martin
LJ Martin at pick 167 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171
Rnd5

Pick172
Rnd5
Taylor Wein

Pick179
Rnd5
Mateen Ibirogba
They will replay Mateen Ibirogba at Round 5, Pick 41 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.

Pick188

Pick190
Rnd6
Ty Benefield
Ty Benefield at the 190th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick191
Rnd6
Corey Myrick
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Corey Myrick in No. 191, plain and simple. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick194
Rnd6
Greg Johnson
Circle this one: Greg Johnson at the 194th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202
Rnd6
Omarion Miller

Pick205
