Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
The Chargers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Chargers took Pat Coogan at the Round 5 slot, roughly 29 spots before his name belonged.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. That Prysock pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Nothing to complain about; Jake Slaughter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Elijah Sarratt in pick No. 86. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123 Rnd4 Joe Royer
Joe Royer at the 123rd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick167 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Pat Coogan this early at the 167th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock at pick 202 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
