Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureC+
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Chargers.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Chargers never addressed wide receiver, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it. Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 22nd pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart in pick 55 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
By-the-book stuff, Elijah Arroyo at slot 74 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick102 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at No. 102 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at Round 4, Pick 16 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
They paid sticker price for Tyler Baron in the 158th overall pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick214 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 6 slot with a little surplus value in Joshua Gray. The roster fit checks out.
Pick228 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
A straight-up fair deal on Robert Longerbeam at pick No. 228, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
