Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB
The Chargers kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Some picks age like wine; Aamil Wagner at pick No. 126 will need to, sitting 43 spots clear of his grade.

Thomas at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the Round 1 slot they get a security blanket over the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Good price on Lee Hunter in pick 63, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at Round 3, Pick 22 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis in slot 91 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge in the 123rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126 Rnd4 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner in pick No. 126 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
Fair-plus on Aaron Anderson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nate Boerkircher
You do not let a tight end like Nate Boerkircher reach No. 202 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Bud Clark
A tidy bit of business in the 220th pick, where Bud Clark graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick247 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 247 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
