Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chargers a B-.

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

They are betting Schrader proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Foster pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a matchup weapon at tight end at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chop Robinson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Blake Corum
The board had cheaper options than Blake Corum at the 69th overall pick, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at slot 105 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick142 Rnd5 Javon Foster
They read the board right and Javon Foster was the payoff at pick 142. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick183 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in the Round 6 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Cody Schrader
They liked Cody Schrader enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 226. The roster fit checks out.
