Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureA
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Chargers: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Chargers spent the Round 7 slot on Karsen Barnhart, a name most had 72 spots down the list. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 22nd overall pick they get a true top target at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in the 37th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick47 Rnd2 Blake Corum
A wild overpay on Blake Corum in pick 47, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick50 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in Round 2, Pick 18 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A tidy little value on Christian Haynes in No. 69, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They paid a round early for Theo Johnson in the 110th pick, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Fair-plus on Roger Rosengarten, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161 Rnd5 AJ Barner
AJ Barner in slot 161 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick181 Rnd6 Trente Jones
They liked Trente Jones enough to skip the value, taking him in the 181st overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick225 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for LaDarius Henderson. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Karsen Barnhart
Karsen Barnhart in pick 253 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
