Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Chargers: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Trey Zuhn III; the Chargers did not wait, grabbing him 75 spots ahead at pick No. 123. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. On value alone, Reese makes the weekend a net positive. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 22 they get a three-down second-level presence, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
A tidy little value on Jake Slaughter in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They paid sticker price for Darrell Jackson Jr. in slot 86, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123 Rnd4 Trey Zuhn III
They reached a country mile for Trey Zuhn III at No. 123, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick202 Rnd6 Barion Brown
By-the-book stuff, Barion Brown at the 202nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
