Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Chargers.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Chargers spent slot 206 on Princewill Umanmielen, a name most had 62 spots down the list. The final tally is a middling C+.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

If Connor Lew and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Connor Lew
In the 25th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Nicholas Singleton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nicholas Singleton. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Chase Bisontis well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick128 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
A wild overpay on DeMonte Capehart in pick 128, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206 Rnd6 Princewill Umanmielen
They reached into another round for Princewill Umanmielen, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick208 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at No. 208 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
