Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers let Jones fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Chargers were there to profit. Trente Jones, the No. 194 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 253rd pick. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They are betting Nourzad proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 5 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
By-the-book stuff, Kamari Lassiter at slot 37 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick105 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Renardo Green in pick No. 105 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick110 Rnd4 Ray Davis
No drama and no debate, Ray Davis went about where he belonged in the 110th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick140 Rnd5 Hunter Nourzad
A wild overpay on Hunter Nourzad in No. 140, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick181 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
Taking Anthony Gould in the 181st overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick225 Rnd7 Fabien Lovett
They robbed the room for Fabien Lovett here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Trente Jones
Steal is underselling it; Trente Jones at Round 7, Pick 33 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
