muddy DRAFTING FOR THEChargers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Chargers. The Chargers torched the value chart for Cody Schrader, taking him 54 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
In the 5th overall pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
A real head-scratcher, T'Vondre Sweat in No. 37 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Jackson Powers-Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick105
Rnd4
Donovan Edwards
Fair-plus on Donovan Edwards, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick142
Rnd5
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in slot 142 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick183
Rnd6
Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at pick 183 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226
Rnd7
Carson Steele
Value said wait; Carson Steele in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
