Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Chargers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Chargers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The McGregor pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Bottom line, with Rome Odunze leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 11 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at the 37th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick107 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in No. 107 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick No. 111 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
A clean, defensible pick in the 139th pick with a little surplus value in Cedric Gray. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick166 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 30, with Braelon Allen worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick183 Rnd6 Trey Knox
No drama and no debate, Trey Knox went about where he belonged in pick 183. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick223 Rnd7 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at the 223rd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick256 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eric Gentry. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
