Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 6, Pick 38: the Chargers steal Key and grade out a B+.

When a board-topper like Dane Key slides to the Round 6 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Chargers did not.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Kight lower, and that gap is the story.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In slot 17 they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Fair-plus on Tate Ratledge, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick48 Rnd2 Ollie Gordon II
No drama and no debate, Ollie Gordon II went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 16. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick98 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in pick No. 98 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick99 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
Somehow Malachi Moore was still sitting there in pick 99, and they pounced on premier safety value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick115 Rnd4 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
A tidy bit of business in the 118th pick, where Davison Igbinosun graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick153 Rnd5 Gunnar Helm
They paid sticker price for Gunnar Helm in the 153rd overall pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick175 Rnd5 Azareye'h Thomas
A straight-up fair deal on Azareye'h Thomas at pick 175, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Amari Kight
They jumped the gun on Amari Kight, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick213 Rnd6 Dane Key
Dane Key in slot 213 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
