Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chargers: B.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Chargers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to edge rusher, which was the need that mattered most. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Smith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In the 22nd overall pick they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at slot 55 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Genesis Smith
Genesis Smith in pick No. 86 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick123 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah at No. 123 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick204 Rnd6 Antonio Kite
Antonio Kite in Round 6, Pick 23 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
