Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD+ FutureA
Grand theft in No. 225: the Chargers steal Chambers and grade out a B-.

The Chargers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Steele Chambers fell into pick 225. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Brooks reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
No drama and no debate, Ladd McConkey went about where he belonged in pick 35. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
A premium they did not need to pay, Jonathon Brooks a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick90 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at pick No. 90 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105 Rnd4 Malik Washington
A quiet steal in slot 105: Malik Washington for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley at the 110th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at No. 140 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick181 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
They paid sticker price for Ty'Ron Hopper in slot 181, and that is fine. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick225 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
The board fumbled Steele Chambers all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at No. 253 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
