Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall F
ValueB NeedC+ TradesF FutureF
The Chargers went off-script early, and it cost them a F.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Isaiah Augustave in pick 204, a good 101 spots before the room expected him.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Bell. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with edge rusher still staring back at them.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick No. 3 they get a rangy last line of defense. More want than need.
Pick86 Rnd3 Olaivavega Ioane
Circle this one: Olaivavega Ioane at slot 86 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123 Rnd4 Chris Bell
Chris Bell in No. 123 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Isaiah Augustave
Isaiah Augustave at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
