Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Chargers: B-.

The Chargers bet big and early on Justin Eboigbe, 46 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In pick No. 6 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at the 38th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick70 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
They took Leonard Taylor III at par in Round 3, Pick 6, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in No. 143 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick184 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
They went early on Keith Randolph Jr. in the 184th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick227 Rnd7 Justin Eboigbe
A big swing on Justin Eboigbe at pick No. 227, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
