Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Chargers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C.

The Chargers bet big and early on Jaylon Hutchings, 102 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

The Jones pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

So much rides on Rome Odunze that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 11th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
No drama and no debate, Kamari Lassiter went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
A wild overpay on Leonard Taylor III in pick 69, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
A straight-up fair deal on Braelon Allen at the 103rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick105 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at No. 105 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jaylen Harrell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaylen Harrell. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in Round 5, Pick 4; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick181 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tanner McLachlan this early at the 181st pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick213 Rnd6 Trente Jones
They robbed the room for Trente Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick225 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Evan Williams slid further than he should have, and the 225th overall pick is lovely value for the safety. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jaylon Hutchings
A real head-scratcher, Jaylon Hutchings in pick No. 253 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
