Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Chargers' one glaring miss is cornerback, a need they left exactly as they found it.

They are betting Keenan III proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Gennings Dunker
In slot 22 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams in pick No. 55 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Genesis Smith
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Genesis Smith. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tim Keenan III
Tim Keenan III at the 123rd pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Eric O'Neill
They took Eric O'Neill at par in pick 202, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
