Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chargers a B.

Nobody else had Parker Brailsford anywhere near slot 86. The Chargers did, by 31 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. They banked enough surplus on Kilgore to cover a lot of smaller sins.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Peter Woods
Good price on Peter Woods in the 22nd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick55 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Gennings Dunker. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86 Rnd3 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore in slot 123 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
