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

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Chargers left edge rusher untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.

Chambliss falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They are betting Brailsford proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The back end got a real overhaul.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane slipping to slot 55 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the safety. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick123 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
A reach on Parker Brailsford in pick No. 123; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204 Rnd6 Trinidad Chambliss
A tidy bit of business in the 204th overall pick, where Trinidad Chambliss graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
