Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Chargers for Allar: D.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Chargers, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Fitzgerald pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Allar.

The Chargers paired the rookies with proven help, Talanoa Hufanga leading the way.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick62 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at No. 62 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick63 Rnd2 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Bishop Fitzgerald
They reached a country mile for Bishop Fitzgerald at Round 3, Pick 22, and the board is aghast. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick110 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Domani Jackson at the 110th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at pick 123 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Steal is underselling it; Drew Allar at the 172nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick203 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
They went early on De'Zhaun Stribling in the 203rd overall pick, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick231 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
A reasonable price with a little left over, J. Michael Sturdivant in pick No. 231. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
