Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Chargers and Lew: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Connor Lew, the Round 3 slot, roughly 26 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They are betting Capehart proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
They let Caleb Banks come to them and pounced at No. 57. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Circle this one: Connor Lew at the 86th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Nothing to complain about; Jalon Kilgore went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
A conviction pick on DeMonte Capehart at slot 129 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jadon Canady
A straight-up fair deal on Jadon Canady at the 202nd pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
