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

The Trey Zuhn III pick is the one that will follow the Chargers into the fall. They took him 33 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 22 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
A tidy bit of business in the 60th overall pick, where Jake Slaughter graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Joe Royer
No edge and no loss on Joe Royer in the 91st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
A reach for Chase Bisontis in pick No. 106; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick124 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
They paid sticker price for Keylan Rutledge in No. 124, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126 Rnd4 Max Iheanachor
A conviction pick on Max Iheanachor at pick 126 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
They reached into another round for Trey Zuhn III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at Round 5, Pick 28 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick202 Rnd6 J. Michael Sturdivant
They paid up for J. Michael Sturdivant at pick 202 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
A wild overpay on Jordan Hall in No. 220, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick233 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tony Grimes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
