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

Every other box got a look, but interior defensive lineman did not. The Chargers will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Reaching for Hunt left real value on the table behind him. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Washington. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 23 they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Good price on Troy Franklin in the 37th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick105 Rnd4 Malik Washington
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 5, with Malik Washington worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110 Rnd4 Audric Estime
Audric Estime at pick No. 110 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at pick 140 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181 Rnd6 Daijun Edwards
A conviction pick on Daijun Edwards at No. 181 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225 Rnd7 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
They let Javontae Jean-Baptiste come to them and pounced at the 225th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in No. 253 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
