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

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Taulia Tagovailoa in pick 253, a good 35 spots before the room expected him.

That Benson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the 5th overall pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Nothing to complain about; Ladd McConkey went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeremiah Trotter Jr.. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick105 Rnd4 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in pick No. 110 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick140 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
A premium they did not need to pay, Justin Eboigbe a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick181 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at slot 181 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
No edge and no loss on Frank Gore Jr. in No. 225; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
This one needs a full-page explanation: Taulia Tagovailoa in the 253rd pick, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
