Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 86: the Chargers steal McNeil-Warren and grade out a B.

The Chargers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Emmanuel McNeil-Warren fell into the 86th overall pick. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They are betting Black proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
In pick No. 22 they get a premier pass rusher, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Nice patience on Emmanuel Pregnon, who had no business lasting to pick 55. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A safety of that caliber at the 86th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick123 Rnd4 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A tidy bit of business in slot 123, where Darrell Jackson Jr. graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kaelon Black
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kaelon Black this early at the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
