Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Chargers.

There is a lot to like until you notice edge rusher is still a hole. The Chargers never got to the one that mattered most. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In No. 22 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe in slot 55 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor need, but a need all the same.
