Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
A-
ValueA+
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureB-
The Chargers won the night they stopped Sabb from sliding. Grade: A-. The rest of the league will want that one back. Keon Sabb tumbling to the Chargers in slot 227 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Chargers paired the rookies with proven help, Justin Jefferson leading the way. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.
Pick Analysis
Pick55
Rnd2
Carter Smith
Steal is underselling it; Carter Smith at pick No. 55 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75
Rnd3
Cayden Green
Somehow Cayden Green was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick82
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.
Pick85
Rnd3
Duce Robinson
Duce Robinson in No. 85 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86
Rnd3
Chris Cole
Taking Chris Cole in pick 86 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87
Rnd3
John Henry Daley
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, John Henry Daley in the 87th overall pick, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95
Rnd3
Teitum Tuioti
They will replay Teitum Tuioti at the 95th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99
Rnd3
KJ Duff
They barely believed it either: KJ Duff still on the board at slot 99. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114
Rnd4
A'Mauri Washington
The board fumbled A'Mauri Washington all the way to pick No. 114, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123
Rnd4
Dashawn Spears
Dashawn Spears in slot 123 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick127
Rnd4
Brice Pollock
Brice Pollock at pick 127 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jayden Maiava
Jayden Maiava in the 133rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick138
Rnd4
Jamari Johnson
A tight end of that caliber at the 138th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149
Rnd5
Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby at Round 5, Pick 11 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick152
Rnd5
Wyatt Young
Wyatt Young at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick159
Rnd5
Will Heldt
Circle this one: Will Heldt at No. 159 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160
Rnd5
Dante Moore
You do not let a quarterback like Dante Moore reach Round 5, Pick 22 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171
Rnd5
Kade Pieper
Somehow Kade Pieper was still sitting there in the 171st overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172
Rnd5
Austin Siereveld
You do not let an offensive lineman like Austin Siereveld reach No. 172 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick184
Rnd6
Kewan Lacy
Kewan Lacy at pick No. 184 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick191
Rnd6
Rasheem Biles
Rasheem Biles in slot 191 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick194
Rnd6
Trevor Lauck
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 194 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick205
Rnd6
Peter Clarke
They barely believed it either: Peter Clarke still on the board at the 205th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick208
Rnd6
LJ Martin
LJ Martin at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick209
Rnd6
Luke Montgomery
Luke Montgomery in Round 6, Pick 30 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick223
Rnd7
Kelley Jones
Kelley Jones at pick 223 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227
Rnd7
Keon Sabb
They robbed the room for Keon Sabb here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick230
Rnd7
Devin McCuin
Circle this one: Devin McCuin at pick No. 230 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick232
Rnd7
Walker Lyons
They will replay Walker Lyons at No. 232 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick236
Rnd7
Jyaire Hill
Taking Jyaire Hill in slot 236 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.
Pick243
Rnd7
Ahmad Moten Sr.
Steal is underselling it; Ahmad Moten Sr. at the 243rd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick244
Rnd7
Anthony Smith
The board fumbled Anthony Smith all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246
Rnd7
Elijah Paige
Elijah Paige in pick 246 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Raylen Wilson in slot 249, plain and simple. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick250
Rnd7
Ezra Christensen
Somehow Ezra Christensen was still sitting there in No. 250, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252
Rnd7
Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu in the 252nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254
Rnd7
Omarion Miller
They will replay Omarion Miller at Round 7, Pick 38 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick256
Rnd7
Greg Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Greg Johnson at the 256th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick257
Rnd7
Cooper Barkate
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 257 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
