Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Chargers a B-.

The Chargers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 225 on Kalen DeLoach a full 22 spots early. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Newton pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 5th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 5 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at No. 69 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick105 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at the 105th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110 Rnd4 Malik Washington
They let Malik Washington come to them and pounced at pick 110. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick140 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Taking Josh Newton in pick No. 140 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick181 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman in the 181st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kalen DeLoach
A real head-scratcher, Kalen DeLoach in the 225th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jalen Sundell
Fair-plus on Jalen Sundell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
