Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Chargers.

The Chargers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 6, Pick 23 on Fa'alili Fa'amoe a full 45 spots early. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Lew. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In the 32nd pick they get a disruptive interior force, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at the 55th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick64 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in Round 2, Pick 32 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Somehow Connor Lew was still sitting there in pick 86, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123 Rnd4 Billy Schrauth
Billy Schrauth in pick No. 123 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick202 Rnd6 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
Fa'alili Fa'amoe at slot 202 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
