Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Chargers.

The war room fell hard for Tony Rojas, and it showed at slot 236: 68 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

However the rest shakes out, Hartford at that price is a win they earned. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 LT Overton
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
They reached into another round for Kenyon Sadiq, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cashius Howell
No edge and no loss on Cashius Howell in No. 87; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick123 Rnd4 Connor Tollison
Connor Tollison at the 123rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick201 Rnd6 Malik Hartford
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malik Hartford in the 201st overall pick, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick236 Rnd7 Tony Rojas
Value said wait; Tony Rojas in pick No. 236 says they were not listening. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick256 Rnd7 Ty Thompson
Ty Thompson in slot 256 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
