Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers robbed the room for Singleton. Final grade: C+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Nicholas Singleton slide, and the Chargers were the ones holding the card at pick No. 213. Highway robbery.

Every board in the league had Slackman lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 25 they get a security blanket over the middle, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick57 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Value said wait; Donovan Jackson in pick No. 57 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cam Skattebo in No. 89, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Steal is underselling it; Jake Majors at the 126th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick160 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick 160 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick180 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
A conviction pick on Xavier Nwankpa at the 180th pick that the board grades a round light. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
They liked Jake Briningstool enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 25. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick208 Rnd6 Joey Slackman
A real head-scratcher, Joey Slackman in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
Circle this one: Nicholas Singleton at the 213th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick218 Rnd7 Julian Fleming
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Julian Fleming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick252 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at Round 7, Pick 36 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
