Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureD-
The Chargers landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

The Kingsley Eguakun selection is the head-turner. The Chargers reached 59 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Getting McGlothern where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

If Malik Nabers and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
They paid sticker price for Malik Nabers in the Round 1 slot, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick37 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in No. 37 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Fair-plus on Kiran Amegadjie, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A straight-up fair deal on Cole Bishop at slot 106, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick139 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in pick 139 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick183 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Nice patience on Dwight McGlothern, who had no business lasting to the 183rd overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Kingsley Eguakun
A wild overpay on Kingsley Eguakun in pick 223, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick256 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Value said wait; Evan Anderson in the 256th overall pick says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
