Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureA
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chargers a B.

Nobody else had Drake Nugent anywhere near the Round 7 slot. The Chargers did, by 30 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. On value alone, All makes the weekend a net positive. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A tidy little value on Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 37, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 69 with a little surplus value in Kiran Amegadjie. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick105 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson slipping to the 105th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
No drama and no debate, Braelon Allen went about where he belonged in No. 110. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in pick 111 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick140 Rnd5 Erick All
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Erick All at pick 140. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick181 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
A slide stopped in slot 181, with Braiden McGregor worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick225 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
They talked themselves into Michael Barrett at the 225th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick253 Rnd7 Drake Nugent
This one needs a full-page explanation: Drake Nugent in pick No. 253, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
