Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The Chargers robbed the room for Stowers. Final grade: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Eli Stowers slide, and the Chargers were the ones holding the card at slot 86. Highway robbery.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Deone Walker deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jacob Rodriguez
Nothing to complain about; Jacob Rodriguez went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick86 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Somehow Eli Stowers was still sitting there in slot 86, and they pounced on premier tight end value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123 Rnd4 Chandler Rivers
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 123 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
A straight-up fair deal on Parker Brailsford at the 126th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick215 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Eric McAlister at pick 215 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
They liked Isaiah Nwokobia enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 7 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
