Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 86 lands the Chargers a B, Lew and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Connor Lew slide, and the Chargers were the ones holding the card at Round 3, Pick 22. Highway robbery. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Every board in the league had Capehart lower, and that gap is the story. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 26th overall pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick55 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
They read the board right and Olaivavega Ioane was the payoff at pick 55. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Connor Lew
They robbed the room for Connor Lew here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jake Golday at pick No. 91 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick123 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
They jumped the gun on DeMonte Capehart, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202 Rnd6 Peyton Bowen
They took Peyton Bowen at par in the 202nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick220 Rnd7 Dijon Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Dijon Johnson at No. 220, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
